Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Setting up a Netgear WPN824 router, need help

That router has a status page that shows the state of the ISP connection. I assume that you can connect directly to the modem (after a power cycle of the modem) and get on the Internet?

Almost any broadband router should connect in the factory default settings to a DOCSIS compliant modem. I've never seen a Comcast account where I couldn't simply plug a new router into the modem and get a wired connection.
