Does the author realize that the actiontec router can be disabled and used just like a cable modem? That's what I do at home and use a WRT54G instead. I also use opendns instead of Verizon's DNS servers. Latency is pretty low for me.
- lallysingh 18y agoOpenDNS is nice, but they give you their crap redirects instead of a proper failure message. Consider the Level 3 dns servers: 4.1.1.1 - 4.1.1.6
- kmt 18y agoDid you mean 4.2.2.1 - 4.2.2.6?

- lallysingh 18y agoYES. Sorry about that.
- alnayyir 18y agoI actually have cable and am considering getting a symmetric 20/20 FioS connection from Verizon and I was thinking the same damn thing the whole article. 1. Switch to different nameservers. 2. Don't use the fucking actiontec as a router. All that remains is his complaints about slowly degrading performance, and assuming that's true, my experiences with cable modems are seriously not any better. I've given up on ever having a reliable connection at home.
