Cable modem blues
Hi peeps I have 10meg Cable internet but the modem supplied is incompatable with my router. I know my router is fine because my brother used to use it on his internet conection from the same company... the differance is the modem. I have had a Webstar epc2100 installed and it works fine when no router is used however when pluged in to my router that my brother kindly donated to me the conection is intermitent it cuts off periodicaly. To rule out the router I have tried it on 3 different conections and sure enough 1 of them was a webstar and had the exact same trouble the other 2 however where Motorolla surfboards and the router ran floorlessly !!! anyway I phoned my ISP and asked them really nicely to change my modem but they said they wont because its not faulty and as the router is 3rd party its nothing to do with them so I had a look around the net for a cheap router but cheep = crap so I have purchased a motorolla surfboard £15 from ebay to replace the crap Webstar but I am worried I know I have to clone the MAC of my existing modem and have aquired the material to allow me to do so but I am un easy as I am sure it is frowned upon by ISP although I am not stealing service in anyway. Can someone please help put my mind at rest about this?
