    I currently have a 15m upc connection which I got when they only did wired modems and have connected to it a sweex wireless router which works quite well. I have another use for the sweex and to save on power and lose some wires I was hoping to get an all in one modem/router to replace both. Is this possible? If so, any suggestions on make model to go for, specifically should I move from wireless G to N? thanks

    You can't use your own cable modem on UPC as the modem has to be provisioned by UPC meaning they have to supply it. Call up UPC and ask if you can get the newer all-in-one modem/router they now supply. It's your only option really.

    It is possible to get UPC to provision a cable modem that you supply yourself, but I've no idea where you'd get one. You can't be guaranteed they'd do it either.

    The combined modem/wifi router they supply is crap, don't get one. Just get a decent router and attach it. Don't bother with N unless all of your equipment is N. Any G equipment connected will drag the whole thing down.
