Having just had that installed myself, they shipped me a Netgear 11n router with built in cable modem, if you hassle them enough they are willing to send out just a modem that you can use with your own router, they told me today they'd be sending me it, despite the 3-4 previous people I'd talked to saying that they didn't do them anymore, only their "Media HUB". For the new routers there seems to be no way to put them into Modem mode, default IP 192.168.0.1 user: admin and password: changeme --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
