What is PPPoE?

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

For the last couple days there has been no more problem.

I may try the new firmware for I read it works with ICUII and I have never been able to get 1.39.1. to work with ICUII.

Also at times I get disconnected for no reason. Then in a while it reconnects. This ...

Routers

I'm thinking about purchasing a router for my two home computers.

1. Do cable companies normally charge extra for using a router?
2. I use a dynamic address, is that a problem?
3. What is the best router for the money?
