when they give you a new modem they will take down the mac id of the modem and thats all they need.. you dont need to do anything except plug it in

Sweetness, OK cool.

I keep going back and forth on this. I'm going to stick it out a bit longer. I have a suspicion it's not the router but Comcast is just overloaded in Boston now that all the college kids are back. Don't know why it would work 100% capacity and then 0% for a few minutes... I'd expect extra people to make it slow all over... like 90% effective (laggy) all of the time. But whatever. I also got a weird Windows Defender message about it removing a virus a couple weeks ago. I've restarted a bunch of times since then and haven't seen that come up again, so I assume that's resolved. Man I hate computers sometimes.

Viruses these days can be more then meets the eye mike, I'd suggest getting your hands on an extra anti virus program or two to see if its really gone.
