Re: Add a WiFi modem to the Actiontec M1424WR

Well, I received and installed my new router and the result has been improved speed throughout the house, even in the basement.  Pages open just about instantly in the Laptop web browsers and the signal in the basement has increased appreciably. 

 

Yes, I could have done it more cheaply, but I could also have done it more expensively as I was considering connecting an Apple Extreme Base Station to the old Actiontec and the AEBS is $200.

 

The advantages of the new Actiontec is that I am totally familiar with the web-based software and so don't have to learn my way around a new router's software and, FWIW, I can still call on Verizon support should I run into a problem I cannot solve.

 

Here are the results of some of my speed tests, done using the Verizon speed test.  The router was installed on 27 November, and you can see the speed increase for yourselves:
