Which cable modem do you use?

And while we're at it, which wireless router?

My modem is dead and my router is slow (Linksys wireless G)

Ive been thinking of a wireless extreme. Someone can tell me the truth about them? your experiences.

And what modem is everyone using? one that works well with the airport extreme would be great.

Also, does anyone in the UAE sell Motorola Surfboard modems?

We have a 3Com wifi router/modem which has worked well with our Airport Extreme. Wifi is off on the 3Com, we only use it as a modem, really.

At home I have a LinkSys Router connected to an Airport Extreme (old).
At the office we have Aztech router with Airport Extreme (new).
The Aztech is a bit dodgey, but it is the one Etisalat offered at the time.

Airports are amazing, easy to configure and reliable.
The USB sharing is also great for printers and Network Attached Storage.
