<p class="MsoNormal">good luck renting a DOCSIS 3.0 modem only from Comcast. afaik they only offer all-in-one router/modem gateway for rental for DOCSIS 3.0. you can almost always have them enable true bridge mode though which disables all router functionality
though.<u></u><u></u></p>

the all in one even if you own it they’re able to configure it to allow others to use the WiFi. With a separate router they’d have to hack through the modem into the WiFi to offer it. I doubt they’re going through that much effort even if they had people
smart enough to do so.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Congratulations. You just became the newest member of the Comcast<br>
wireless internet cafe provider club. Someone with a Comcast login can<br>
now log in through the Comcast app gateway and take advantage of their<br>
expanded WiFi footprint through your free bandwidth that they're<br>
offering up!<br>
<br>
This has been mentioned in a number of forums over the last several<br>
months. I don't recall if you can or how you opt-out of them offering<br>
your bandwidth to all comers. Since I don't have Comcast, I can not<br>
test and say for sure from first hand experience.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Mike<br>
