Centurylink Modem

[Derek Trotter]

Also if the all in one box fails, you are offline and cant' access 
anything else on your network.  If a firewall fails, it can be 
temporarily removed from the network until it can be fixed or replaced.  
If your wireless access point fails, you can still use your laptop.  
You'll just have to plug it into your wired network until the wireless 
kit is fixed.  If your modem dies in a puff of smoke, you can still sit 
on your front porch and use the laptop to get information from another 
computer in your house.
