    My current modem is 7 years old, i got it direct from UPC & then added my own seperate router about 3 years ago.

    The router & modem work perfectly fine except that now i need to move the modem & router to a new location in my house & in that particular area theres already a few things plugged in.

    My question is; is there a combined modem & router for UPC broadband that will allow me to use one device instead of two seperate ones?

    Yep, once you sign up to the 25/50/100mb packages they assign you with the Cisco EPC2425 or CiscoEPC3925 which is a Modem/router in one.

    Which would be grand, but they're shockingly bad. You'll want to still bridge(via DMZ) if you get one of them, especially the 39 as its antenna is pathetic.
