[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 651466"] MAC address assignment is all this is. I work as an external DOCSIS Engineer/Tester for a major cable provider. (side job lol) We prefer Arris, the 6190 is the best one right now IMO because it has matured firmware. You just buy it, call the NOC for your ISP and give them the MAC and they provision it. 6190 has 32/8 so it will get you close to 1000Mbps downstream if you ever head that way. Early PUMA issues are all but gone and our error correction has plummeted on it. SB8200 has some issues right now relating to buffering and the FW isn't mature, I'd steer clear. Cisco/Linksys TG/DG are problematic and are hideous routers stacked into the mix with barely usable WiFi. TP-Link is better than people think, that's a cheaper option if your ISP will provision it. My 2c. [/QUOTE]
