3rd Party Router

[doughty]

I know that this has been asked before, but I still do not see a clear answer since every discussion seems to immediately veer into techspeak and an alphabet soup of acronyms. So I seek a simple direct answer.

I have the bundle. I want to add a third party router. I read that I must put the Xfinity box into bridge mode. The question is what happens to the TV signal to the entertainment box?

Nothing happens to the TV entertainment boxes. Just make sure once you bridge the rogers modem that your new router's wifi is the same SSID and password as what it was previously, just makes it easier. The rogers modem has a hidden SSID for the TV boxes for verification. This can not be shutoff BTW.

I have had the modem bridged for years with my TV entertainment boxes and using my own router. I have TV boxes both hard wired with CAT5 and wireless and all work flawlessly.

Good Luck
