Coaxial to Ethernet
Typethreed, are you trying to be condescending? I don't claim to be a networking genius which is why I came here... I have a hardwired connection to my rt ac66u. All I did with the router was turn the thing on and plug the other thing into the thing. I haven't tampered with the settings on my router other that turning it on and configuring my wifi password and SSID which is only to be used for my phone and other not mission critical devices. Pretty certain configuring my wifi setting isn't to blame for my ping issue.
Just to clarify guys I bought the router because the wifi built into my modem was only wireless g which isn't fast enough for all my wireless devices plus the range was terrible. Had I know all I needed to do was buy a beast Modem I wouldn't have wasted the money. How much does a super fast but fairly bare bones and easy to use modem cost exactly?
I'm sorry, I was definitely out of line responding like that. I was having a pretty bad day. I sounded like a jerk in my reply now that I re-read it, and I apologize.
In all seriousness though, a modem is a modem. Any modem claiming to be a "performance" modem is 99% marketing giberish. There are custom cable modem/router boxes that are pretty beast, but they get pricey.
I would recommend a dedicated cable modem box hooked up to your own router. Motorola and Cisco make nice ones in the $30~$60 range.
