Yes, that is the plan. With the comcast router I should be able to determine if it is a modem / line issue. Then they will be forced to fix it, rather than simply tell me that it is my equipment and they can't help me. :)

Thanks Stevech, Temporarily I am going to be picking up another rental modem from Comcast and putting it into full bridge mode until I can get all the other parts of the network operational. I think there are too many moving pieces at the moment. Over the weekend I was able to keep the network...

I've turned off the wifi network and plugged the laptop in directly. That does not seem to have fixed the problem. I've also done some looking around - it is possible that the modem is the problem, and not the router itself. The modem is a SB6141 that I purchased myself just a month or so ago...

Hello everyone, I am asking what may be a very basic question, but I cannot seem to grasp it properly. I am a new homeowner and am installing my own wired and wireless network throughout my house. I have already mapped the devices and pulled the wiring to location, and am in the process of...
