This is a Comcast-supplied combination router-modem-ap? From everything I've read and been told by people who know from experience the firmware in those is always buggy and insecure (the supplier always has a backdoor, for example). In my experience even simple DSL modems with no wifi are unstable when you let them try to be routers. Comcast may be willing to swap it for a different one (probably one they got back from another unhappy customer but never tested) but it's not likely to be better. Put the thing in bridge mode and put a real router behind it. Otherwise you are entrusting the security of your LAN to Comcast. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
