Hello from Michigan. I switched from U-Verse to Charter yesterday. The new internet connection is fast and solid.
My house is wired with Cat5. With U-Verse I distributed their ethernet via passive Trendnet switches to every room and everyone could be online at the same time, no problem.
Now, with Charter, that system isn't working any longer. Connecting the Arris TM-902 modem with my existing switch network results in just one computer allowed online at a time. For a different computer/user to have a turn the Charter modem has to be reset, computers restarted, etc.
I called support but the guy I talked to really didn't know much about a wired solution, just wireless. He said I would need to buy a router, or more than one router, but couldn't say how or if they could be daisy-chained.
What router(s) would people recommend and how should I integrate it into my existing Cat5 cable set-up? I prefer the least hassle and expense possible, considering how much effort I already put into Cat5-ing the whole house and thinking that I was done with wireless forever.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
