WTG Jim! That would solve your problem. Why can't you have 2? Moreover somebody has to make them and I'm sure way more that one of them, that you could buy. I thought the diff was the phone one has a battery backup like the one I had from comcast.
Well after 8 hours of dreaming I hit the PC jackpot. I thought it was late so the usage might have been low giving me a better test. WRONG!! WAHOO It's still thumpin at noon.
The most disturbing thing is that it wasn't the PC. I was getting close to what I was supposed to have and it was just slow. That said, I'm glad I didn't spend 3 grand for a badass pc to cruise the net when a $78 device gave me 60mbps when I was getting 12 and 400% faster. DAMN

I don't know the search terms on what to look for. They have to be out there. Mine is back on sale with free ship for 78. It was off the other day. They make one with a router too.

I'm supposed to talk to my comcast tech again tonight. The one that told me what to get and got me going last night. I'll ask him what you need. We'll get this figured out if you want.
