I shoulda asked you guys first. Unfortunately the only viable computers at the moment are Macbook Airs, which have no ethernet ports (and the modem isn't a router, nor is it wireless). Fortunately, Amazon is sending me a new one.

Comcast doesn't give a rat's ass about the router anyway, it's the modem they hate, and all sorts of internet warfare tells me that the SB6141 has an unalterable MAC address.

Good luck. Even with all the correct configurations on my end, Comcast still usually takes an hour to actually give me an IP address. Sadly they're the only provider in my area that has contracts for less than a year.

Stupid thing is I've got a FIOS box on the house. Unfortunately Verizon sold their operations here to Frontier, which will charge you $59/mo for 30mbps and won't refund your money when your internet stone cold stops for hours at a time.

Comcast's hinkyness notwithstanding, at least it's on.
