Tip if router won't connect properly to cable modem: Clone the MAC address

<< < (3/3)

Stoic Joker:
While that is true for most cable setups, sometimes (cable based) ISP's play additional games that involve preventing the assignment of addresses MAC address (or address blocks) that are  assigned to router manufacturers/equipment.

There is also the only 2 MAC addresses allowed (there end and your end) game that they play.

Either dilemma will require mousers above approach.

Yep...either that or you're on the phone with your ISP begging them to change the MAC address they've got in their system. Most ISPs don't engage in such archaic behavior anymore & fortunately for me, none of the ISPs where I live took part in that little game.
