[ale] [OT] Good cable modem to connect to Comcast?

[cdcoleman]

Hi Jeff,

Which WiFi router are you using? Is it getting DNS settings from uverse? I want to change the DNS settings to use OpenDNS to block sites from the kids. Do you know if it's possible?


 Thanks,
Chris Coleman

I do much the same under Uverse; I let the router and the TV boxes play amongst themselves and the uplink side of a WiFi router; all the desktops, laptops, and servers in the house connect to that instead of the Uverse router.

Still, something mildly secure. I'll put a WAP or something on the other side.
