No, I'm saying I use the SMC as the fallback access. One gateway sitting in a bean field and a second at my house. If the main access gets zapped I can redirect the traffic to the 2 cheapo connections. I just hate those SMC modems. They get hot, not good for one sitting inside an enclosed NEMA box on top of a wooden pole in a bean field. So I took the case off the modem, put a heat sink and fan on it and wired the fan to the power connector. TW installer had to be convinced it was their equipment before he hooked their line to the box. They aren't used to naked electronics.
