Clone the Mac Address!….”You said what now?”
It took 4 attempts over 3 days - but I finally got my co-workers NEW Comcast Hi-Speed Internet working. It really sucks that the Comcast installer only installed the modem and bailed without even giving the slightest instruction on how to set it up the everything else. The average home user would NEVER know to clone the Mac Address of a laptop and transfer that info to a Linksys WRT54G Wifi Router….now would they. Or better yet, how about the fact that the Arris TM402P Cable Modem log’s, locks, then sends the Mac Address info (of the first device attached) off to some distant Comcast server thus preventing any other device from connecting without first completely resetting and powering off the Arris modem…..bogus! Any way - lesson’s learned all around and the wifi bubble once again surrounds my co-workers home.
