[NJARC] WiFI Cable Modem Router question???

[Bill Burns]

If you don't want to pay the monthly fee on the Time Warner box, you can 
buy a compatible one. Here's their list:

I see that your Netgear 3700 is on this list, so this should work.

You said that TWC phone service is part of your deal, so to connect the 
phone to their service you need to follow these instructions at the link 
on that page under Step 3:

How can I connect my own modem if I have both Internet and Home Phone 
services?

A. You will need a TWC provided eMTA for your Home Phone Service.

B. Connect your purchased modem at home using the instructions provided 
by the manufacturer. You will need an additional cable connection for 
your new, purchased modem. If you do not already have an additional 
cable connection, buy a two-way, 5-1000MHz coaxial cable splitter and 
two pieces of coaxial cable with connectors.

C. Remove the existing cable connection from the back of the eMTA, and 
connect it to the “Input” connection on the splitter.

D. Connect one end of the first new coaxial cable to one of the splitter 
Outputs, and connect the other end of that same cable to the eMTA.

E. Connect one end of the second new coaxial cable to the other splitter 
Output, and connect the other end of that same cable to the modem.


And on this page, it says TWC will give you an eMTA without a monthly 
charge (if I'm reading it correctly):

"If you are subscribed to both Internet and Home Phone service, we are 
able to give you the option of purchasing your own Internet modem. This 
means that you will not incur the monthly Internet Modem Lease charge; 
however, you will still need an eMTA to provide your phone service. We 
will allow you to bring your own Internet modem while still providing 
you an eMTA without the lease charge."

Hope this helps!
