port forwarding on newer routers does not work

Still running a 5-year-old Comcast business router. It has full support for NAT, including the ability to map the incoming port to an outgoing port for example: :22 to :2222 such as: 100.100.100.100:22 to 10.0.0.5:2222 This port remapping is critical (NOT just IP alone) because ports like port 22 (S

Gateway AC power input: 240V-tolerant?

Good day, Comcast's field tech just finished replacing our gateway, and porting our primary phone line over to it. With that said, I trust the "backup" battery in the new gateway about as far as I can throw my minivan. With this in mind: I'd like to power the gateway from our in-house battery plant,

This is ridiculous

Knowing IPV6 is available, it won't configure correctly through the SMC modem, requires switching to the Netgear to take advantage. In doing this, now my business phone lines are DOWN. I use the phone services I have chosen for specific reason and options that comcast doesn't provide, nor is the com

unfortunately, there's not much you can do. Static IPs cannot be provisioned to customer owned modems; you must lease a Comcast gateway for that. As far as I've known, the gateways should do no modifying of traffic to/from static IP assigned devices.

Update: Static IP's with customer-owned modems/gateways

Good day, fellow victi.. uhh, 'users' of Comcast! I thought I'd post an update regarding the issue of not being permitted to use static IP's with a customer-owned modem/gateway.

@Comcast_Ray I think part of the frustration is from this being at least the third firmware update that has broken IPv6 in a way that can't be worked around by the customer. And we as customers are just stuck every time this happens.  If we had

Prefix Delegation Disabled

Is anyone else having issues with their delegated IPv6 prefix? Our CGA4332COM correctly shows our assigned /56 address but it is not handing out the /59 prefix to our router-firewall.

I gave up long ago on Comcast supplied gear for v4 statics with v6, leave it in place and ignore it

Save yourself the pain ! Simple solution, a pfSense firewall, tunnel IPv6 (6in4) to Hurricane, use the many DNS resolver tricks to strip AAAAs from its (pF) local resolver (dnsmasq) to return only IPv4 A records for certain domains to avoid (Netflix et al) tunnel block issues and I am a happy camper

When we did the test with both modems, our network was connected to the SMC. The Cisco had nothing connected (save power and coax from Comcast). So, yes, it was clearly not our network that was triggering the reboot. I cannot speak to the packages th

It's not the point business users can, if they wish, use their own modem. It's that, if they do, Comcast will not provision static IP addresses.  This restriction seems, to me, silly at best. If Comcast is truly worried about abuse, they need to find
