[NJARC] WiFI Cable Modem Router question???

Tue Jun 3 15:49:24 EDT 2014

Hi everybody and greetings from Maine,

    Thanks to all for your responses.  I spent a  lot of time this AM on 
the phone with TWC.  What a PITA  organization.  They would not budge on 
eliminating their modem / router box  for the phone.  At least the money I'm out 
for he WiFi isn't wasted  money.  Now I have the internet speed I was 
looking for and WiFi capability  that I don't have to rent.  So, for your 
reference, TWC is a PITA to deal  with.  I wasn't happy with the fees with Verizon, 
but at least they worked  with you.

Regards,
Joe Devonshire

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:

uy-your-modem.html

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!
