  11. Kr4zi4ur0mg says:

    I have a question… Do you happen to know if the Cisco Valet M20 blocks all ports?
    For some reason , I’m having trouble port forwarding… even when I’m using DMZ , none of the ports that I want to port forward are open… ( and yes I’ve entered everything correctly and properly. ) please respond if you can…

  12. Circumventorable says:

    Why is someone with such a kick-ass computer using a shitty OS such as Vista? This was made in 2010……where is the Windows 7?

    i like your background (( your pc xD ))

  14. noahdrake says:

    @rspctVelocity i router provides default protections against stuff floating around on the internet, a modem does not. like most things, these default protections ware out quickly, and isn’t used as a firewall even though there have been some stupid ppl that think so.

    also about this video; this guy knows nothing about the networks that the booklet that comes with your router doesn’t already tell you. and this is all under the assumtion your isp only gives you one ip for your home network.

  15. rev0815 says:

    @rspctVelocity most “modems” selled today are crippled routers. thats why they have wireless for example. so using an extra router gives you more opportunities in configuration especially when you use cabel based connection. dyndns or port forwarding are important for some users. if you don’t know what that is i suggest you better save the money and work with your configuration.

  16. Kallion86 says:

    @rspctVelocity A router is more primarily used if you have multiple computers in your household which need connectivity to the internet. The modem does not handle this task. That would be the reason you would buy a router, to give the same internet your modem gives, to more than one pc.

    were did you get that newegg sticker

  18. Kool1zero1 says:

    what is that right side monitor in your setup? its cool :P

  19. rspctVelocity says:

    I have my modem connecting straight to my computer. I don’t understand the need for a router because it seems like my modem can do everything a router can. I gives me wireless etc. Could someone explain to me the benefits of a router and if I should purchase one.

  20. TheUnboxerMan says:

    @ksidornseif More connections

  21. vincentjacobstardust says:

    @ksidornseif Ability to network other devices. :p

  22. ksidornseif says:

    I’m running my devices straight off the modem…. What benefits will I get from adding a router?

  23. mgasplin says:

    @emperor3000 Some people just like the classic theme. Not everyone is into flashy themes. I know old people who prefer the classic theme and I know some high schoolers who prefer the classic theme. Eveybody has different tastes.
