Comcast cable boxes down here have several potentially useful ports on their backside, for example, that are useless because the cable company's firmware won't allow those features to be addressed. Also, the description you kindly provided doesn't specify whether it is Version 1 of this router or the current Version 2, which has significant upgrades. Oh, and it is $70 cheaper almost everywhere else! -- Religion: together we can find the cure. |

Oh, and it is $70 cheaper almost everywhere else! I was just curious to see if the router they recently installed that transmits two channels was 802.11ac. It's not. It is 802.11n In the course of looking it up, I ran across the one in the link. I agree with you. Even the Comcast provided HD TV receivers are weird. There are HDMI connections on the back but I've never been able to make them work ... and we have four HD receivers, one of which is only 2 months old. I have to use the RGB (three RCA jacks) HD connection. The digital audio works through, so you do get sound in surround when the content has it. |

The answer I usually get is "we haven't implemented that yet." To me, that means "we haven't figured out how to charge you more for that feature. When we do, we'll offer it." -- Religion: together we can find the cure. |

When I've had a problem like that, I've taken the box to the local Cox store and gotten a new one, no questions asked. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

The Arris D-3.0 "Gateway" that Comcast provides is made by Motorola. |
