[Equip] Re: Chromecast and Comcast Cisco DPC3939B business router

Looking at that Comcast forum thread, only things I see worthy of changing to attempt getting it working are:

1. The wireless security type (to WPA2 AES only or another type to try compatibility)

2. Wireless channel on the 2.4ghz band (try channel 6 or 11 as some N capable devices don't work on channel 1 if the router is possibly using wider channel widths. i.e. doesn't map below 2.412ghz like it should).

Since Cisco acknowledges that it's a known firmware problem with the DPC (below), the only alternative I see to waiting for a fix, would be to have the DPC placed in bridged mode and supply your own wireless router.

Hello cncoats and gazog, sorry for the delay.

At this time the Cisco 3939B is not compatible with Chromecast. Our senior engineering team is working with Cisco to resolved this issue, and a fix will be in place with the next firmware update. We will post an update once the new firmware is released.

Sorry for any incovinece at this time."
