The EMTA like a modem remembers the mac address so you must reset/reboot it when you shitch devices.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20830519 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:38:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20829943 JahsDisciple : you should be able to use a straight ethernet cable into the router. just be sure to reset the emta and then powercycle the router after they're connected.

Is the RJ-45 jack on the TM502G wired DTE or DCE or one of the newer "autosensing" interfaces?

I have read conflicting information on whether to use a straight or crossover ethernet cable.

[The Arris TM502G is supplied by the local ComCast carrier who wants to lease a wireless router to me rather than give information on hooking up anything except a single computer.]]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800862 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:37:13 EDT
