What I hope is this. I hope that if the new modem has built in WiFi we can shut that part off and still use our own wireless routers. I recently discovered that the competition has a modem that has built in WiFi, but if you want to use your own wireless router, you can't, as it doesn't have an "internet" port on it. It has four LAN ports, but none with the ability to use with a wireless router. And even worse, if you don't want to use WiFi at all, there is no way to shut the WiFi off! That's downright rotten.
I sure hope the designers of the new Gen5 modem were nicer than what the competition is stuck with.
