PSA Comcast increased their internet speeds

I thought there was supposed to be a mail-in rebate with this deal. I don't see anything in the box.

If you're talking about the modem I linked to there was a $30 mail in rebate and the rebate details were on the page where you ordered it. You'll need to print out your form and such.

Wired, but through the wifi router.

I think this all has to do with something else. When I bought this PC, I was told that it did not have an onboard ethernet connection. I've always just used a USB wireless plug-in with a little antenna. My wife recently broke it off. I put it back together, but it doesn't work any more (I've broken it and put it back together before). So I just ran an ethernet cable directly from the wifi router into the PC and have internet now, but it is painfully slow. Just a few minutes ago I ran the cord directly from the new modem into the PC just to test it out, but it won't connect to the internet that way.

Your USB thing sounds like a USB WiFi adapter. I would be surprised that you have a PC w/o an ethernet port/adapter unless it's about a decade old. Even then PCs had them pretty much by default even going back past that. If you have a port that a network cable physically fits into then you have integrated network in your PC. Use a network cable and scrap that wireless USB garbage. To connect your PC directly to the modem you'll need to establish a new network but I wouldn't waste your time. Connect your network cable to your new router and then set up a new network (Google is your friend here if you don't know how) so your PC can connect to your router and your connection should be just fine.

I've already done most of your post Jer. I'll have to correctly set up a new network it sounds like.

Econ plus did not get a speed increase with this change. You're exceeding advertised speed with that test. You're rated at 3mbps/768k

Thanks-You saved me a phone call.

After messing with my set-up for several days, I can get this, but only directly through the modem. I spent an hour on the phone with D-link and they just determined the router to be broke.
