A few things: - you 'really' need some kind of residential gateway box between your network and the Comcast router. Really. Don't rely on them being either secure nor correct. - if you have any kind of router/gateway box (prices can be $40-$150+) you 'will' have control over your DNS and your DHCP - I'd always lean against turning wifi encryption off (c1 in matthew's list) Almost any kind of router/gateway box will support you controlling DHCP any way you want. You could statically set up the weather station, or setup DHCP on the router side to provide the answer you want the weather station to get. But get a router box no matter which way you go. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
