Okay, so i spent nearly all day trying to get my new wireless router (Linksys WRT160N) to handle our home network and internet connection through Comcast. Made absolutely no progress, unless you can call ruling out about 30 different 'fixes' progress. Turns out a lot of folks have problems with this particular router & Comcast.

Upside - Wes agreed to go in halfsies on a better router once i get my money back on this one! Dlink 1G extreme gaming router, here i come!

I think a lot of people have problems with Comcast in general. Setting up the router for my Verizon system couldn't have been easier. I wish I could help you, buddy, but I'm afraid I'm a technological idiot. Wink
