look at the back of that modem...you might be able to pick one up cheap...
they charge you around $3.00 a month anyways for that modem + tax....
so you might be able to get a refurb one of the same brand/model/type..
and if you really want to buy a long long ethernet cable, Amazon has great prices on those. LOL
But if you get a router, get that N band, woman!
PS, I'll pass along the Christmas Stocking tip to Moss, she might want to use it to hold other things *hint cup thingies. LOL...

LMAO..........
