So far so good...

Internet Provider: Comcast
Plan: Blast! (50 Mbps)
Reason of purchase: Comcast kept giving me refurbished replacement modem/routers and they kept dying on me after 3 months.
Modem: Motorola - SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 High-Speed Cable Modem (SB6141) – Purchased through BestBuy
Setup: Easy, but it took about 5 mins for the router to sync with the modem. The Genie app is fool proof and I like the additional features such as Parent Controls and Guest Access.
Use: No issues with the use of the LAN Ports and the wireless signal is fine in our 1,500 Square Foot house.
General Review: It works really well and was simple to set up. I had to read the direction due to the last two, what looks like lights, on the bottom are actually buttons to shut off the wireless and to do the one touch connect. I think that was poor design, but meh.. for the price.. I can’t really complain. I would recommend this to anyone who just needs a simple router with LAN Ports.

Vid Card for Dummies!

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Newbie
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Gaming
Pros: super simple to install (however user error prevented me from doing it correctly the first time around... my fault.. luckily YouTube is super informative). My gaming on Everquest 2 on "Balance" setting is perfect (anything else is pretty laggish on my comp). All my other simple games (apps on facebook, bejeweled, other silly games... YoVille) run a lot smoother). My Windows Experience Index went from a 3.2 to a 3.7 (Gaming Graphic went from 3.2 to a 4.6) (Graphics went from a 3.4 to a 3.7).
Cons: Nothing really, but make sure you research everything about your comp before buying. I had to by a power supply upgrade, because my comp has 250 w power supply, and the card requires a 300 or better.
This was my first time upgrading my comp. I researched for 2 weeks to make sure I got the right one. I have a HP Comp which was built for entertainment purposes, and I wanted to game on it. It had good bones and needed minor upgrades. I attempted to play Everquest (the Free Version) on it, and the vid card failed to provide the simple task on "Extreme Performance" (meaning you are willing to sacrifice overall visual gaming so you can actually play the game). Never the less, everything looked like tetris pieces and it was still a pretty weak performance, like everything looked dark ever at the highest "brightness" level on my monitor. It just wasn't fun to play, and all my friends were like.. dood you suck. Just upgrade your vid card. In which I did, and could not be more happier with it.
What's great about it: Store availability for last minute upgrades!
What's not so great: Noob friendly!
I would recommend this to a friend!

what is the best video card to play wow smoothly with no lag

Depending on what kind of computer you have, your vid card might be fine and your overall specs ong your computer could be the issues.

Read up on the required specs for WoW (World of Warcraft) and determine if your computer has all the required elements for the the game. (provided the link below)
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/faq/technology.html

Vid card suggestions are also listed on there, but you can find a modest vid card that's not super name brand for a good price with the same specs. Good luck and happy gaming.
