I also endorse using your own equipment although some equipment might be a little bit of an adventure. I've posted several times over the past 8 months or so about the equipment I've been using on Cox and Spectrum, I don't even have to tell the ISP what equipment I'm using... I just tell them I'm using my own equipment on the Service Order, then hook up my own equipment. As long as the equipment id compatible with their system, everything happens more or less automaticatlly… The equipment is discovered, recogniziaed, identified and then authorized firmware updates are installed automatically (by the ISP). If all goes well, somewhere between 20 t0 90 minutes after initial hookup, the system should be working. You need to identify your equipment if you want help with your different options. Nowadays, I think most SOHO residential gateways come with web-based Administration. You may need to use a wired connection instead of a wireless.
