I have one, but I stopped using it because the internet would drop, like it
was rebooting, but it wasn't.
I've gone through several since then, some better, but now I'm plagued by
the same issue on different hardware.
Anyway, it's free, you'll probably need a power supply for it, as I don't
think I have it.
Cisco Docsis 3.0, cable modem.
Can get model specifics tonight, if you're interested.
Thanks,
Alexander
