I'm not sure what they mean by that. You can use a router and
have many. Perhaps this is referring to mailboxes. Comcast
may give you 5 mailboxes. Don't know why even mention 2.
If you opt for "1", they give you a plain old cable modem. If you
opt for 2-5, they give you a cable/router/WAP, apparently.
Is this only if you want IP addresses for each computer and
can i do like i do with my DSL and use a router so both
computers share the IP and get the one computer price?
I'm not even sure they offer more than 1 IP. Years ago, they
did. If you use a router all PCs will have the same IP on the
internet.
What does that actually mean? Aren't all the PCs behind a
firewall, and doesn't each have a unique IP address that is not
ordinarily visible on the Net?
