Modem question.

I get the impression that modems really don't matter.

My question is, my current modem's downstream is 29Mbps. Should I disregard the modem and buy a new router, or will the slow modem keep the router under 29Mbps?

So should I buy a better modem? Main thing for wanting a new one is that it gets real hot and then my internet goes down. Also, 29Mbps isn't what I'm paying for

If you're paying for more then 29Mbps you should contact your provider.

Modems and routers are not the most important here, it's about what you company is giving you.

ehh you mean your current internet's download speed is 29mbps

If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

If your ISP is providing you the modem and charging your 5$/month or some sort of fee, they should upgrade your modem. You need to call your ISP and have them handle this, not LTT forums.
