The modem has router and firewall capabilities, but only one ethernet port. I needed a few more. I purchased a D-Link 614 wireless/wired router. It works fine, but... I could not update the firmware from linux. This was required as the router crashed and would not reboot following a certain wireless setup. The firmware upgrade seems to have fixed it, but it was web-based and required IE. D-Link offers no Linux support, they do windows and not much else (read that any way you like). The other web-based configuration tools work fine with Galeon/Mozilla. Recommendation: Look at Linksys, at least their routers are Linux based. Yes, I've read about the GPL issues with Linksys.
