Yeah, I have that same modem. It works great. Router doesn't matter for the cable. That one looks good to me if you don't need dual bands (use it for multiple things at once)

like more than one laptop?  i will do that.  do other things use internet?  i can't think of anything else that would use my internet.

is this one better?  are they all the same?

It'll probably be fine for what you are using it for. This one is dual band though and doesn't cost much more:

 I think Saul told me one time that he didn't like Belkin but I don't remember why. I think he likes linksys. this is probably the best one as far as linksys but I don't know that you would see much difference in speed or reliability.

saul probably won't be answering any questions for awhile because he's on a cruise.

is dual band good?  i thought the ones with one 450 band would be better (faster) than two 300 bands, because as far as i know i only use one band.  but i could be using two bands, it's impossible to know.

rough ridin' saul, right when i need him.

Routers matter. Mostly the firmware.

it's good if you have multiple things using it at once in my experience. sometimes we'll have two laptops, ipad, phones, tv, media streamers, etc. all on the network and it will bog down a bit. saul set up trims so his xbox or ps3 or whatever gets on one band and his computer the other so they don't mess with each other or something. if you just have 2 laptops you are probably fine without it though.

someone just link me the best one to buy (not the best one it's possible to buy, but the one that's the best for the money for two laptops).  or tell me which brands are good and which ones suck.  pretend you're all a bunch of sauls.

These things are a bitch.  You need Saul to come to your house, or at least have remote access to your computer.

It's hard to say. I would spend the extra $20 or $30 and get a lyksys. Here is a middle of the road one that should work for everything you need it for. You can go better if you want. Check the chart at the bottom of the page for comparisons.
