I wonder if Netgear has a modem similar to the one he has but separate

a modem and use his Linksys for the router and see if there's a change.

What's the model number of this Netgear m-r ? I'm guessing it would
have to be a CG814CPR or similar.

I'm still having problem with that stmt a while back that says they have
to use this specific modem-router and nothing else could possibly be
configured (or some such). There's got to be similar but separate hdw
that they can configure - like a separate Motorola/Linksys modem with a
separate Linksys/Netgear router.


For residential service, Comcast will allow you to use your own modem. It doesn't work that way for business service. I'm sure that's mostly a business, not a technical decision on their part, but there could be some technical reason that I'm just not aware of.

So a different modem (or modem/router) is a step that Comcast has to be willing to take in this case.
