    Are you sure you need to buy a cable modem? Many Internet Service Providers provide a cable modem and don’t charge a fee for the modem(ex: Comcast).

    If it won’t cost you anything just use the cable company’s cable modem, in addition to being free they will also replace it if there is a problem.

    For routers, the Linksys WRT54GL is an old favorite, and it’s great with the Tomato firmware running on it. http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato

    If you want features like Wireless N, Gigabit Ethernet or the ability to attach a USB Harddrive or Printer directly to the router, check out the D-Link DIR-655
