Light Reading notes how cable operators this year will seriously begin ramping up the replacement of the traditional cable modem with more sophisticated DOCSIS 3.0-capable home gateways. The gateways of course allow for faster in-home networking speeds thanks to 802.11N and Gigabit Ethernet support, but they can sometimes make technical troubleshooting easier — and allow for the upsell to more expensive services, like a cable company’s premium home network management service most of our readers don’t need. The move of course is playing catch up with Verizon, who installs a wireless gateway with each FiOS install.
