[ale] [OT] router question

[John Pilman]

Thanks, everyone for the input. I was not familiar with passthrough DHCP
and that makes a lot of sense.  I had to leave the house, so I unplugged
the router until I get back. When I get home I'll look again with more
information.

I can say it is Comcast, and I did give them the MAC ID when I connected
it.
