I have @home and use a ubr924. Yes, the cable installer had to take the serial # off
the back of the router and they had to make some changes at the other end. So, when
the
router connects to the headend it downloads a special config file called "ios.cnf"
which
automatically connects me to the @home network. The downside is I'm locked out of the
router (i.e., my console password is overwritten).
@home gave me a static IP address for my workstation and since the router operates in
bridiging mode (just like DSL) all is well. I then assigned that static IP address to
a
NETgear 311 router which does NAT/DHCP, so all my devices can now get to the internet
via the ubr924. Remember, in bridging mode the router has no ip address assigned.
I'd really like to now how to console into the router, but the DOCSIS standard doesn't
seem to allow this. I'd love to hear others' experiences with the ubr924 & @home. For
instance, has anyone successfully made voice calls over the Internet? I am able to
make
calls from one room in my house to another, but since the router doesn't have an IP
address I don't see how I can call using VoIP.
