So it seems I have to get this new modem because I'm going over my 60 gig limit. But with all this talk about the wifi being crappy, how do I set it up to just use as a modem and not a wifi router, since the one I have, works perfectly?

HI GDKitty,
Which one is the best choice for the setup? and what is the advantage for the choice? Thanks.

The Grandfather clause really irks me. When I signed up with rogers it was for the then Extreme package (yes a long time ago) and I purchased my Motorola 5100 Modem. I had no caps and I had a lot of services that are now no longer available (remember full membershipflicker ,newsnet service free ptotection) Now I have a very regressive 60GB cap because of the docis 2 modem even though I hit sustsined downloads with push technology of 2MB sec.
Point being if they really want to grandfather me give me what I signed up for 12 years ago.
Not Happy and rogers really doesn't care.
My services will be cancelled as soon as I find a reliable alternative. The only time I called to complain was last August when My son had inadvertantly left his reloaded tablet to sync with his online storage (he was visiting) I asked do you really want to lose a 20 year customer over 5GB of data. The response. Your modem can't handle that amount of data.
. . I do this for a living managing a large network. Its not that my modem can't handle the data it is pure and simple that they want even more money from me to upgrade to a docis 3 modem and the junk they supply is not worth buying OR renting

You are 100% correct. The D2 modem has no problem handling well in excess of the 60 GB usage allowance and Rogers has no reservations about charging you an arm and a leg for exceeding that 60GB. Not only that but the SB5100 is also perfectly capable of handling the 25 down and 2 up speeds that you would get if you upgraded your modem. It may not be able to handle the speeds for the higher tiers, but for express Internet, it is perfectly capable. You are also 100% correct that the junk they try to pawn off on customers is exactly that - JUNK!
