Hi all, I'm a newb here, so sorry if this is covered elsewhere in a guide that I haven't seen yet.
My current subscribed modem is an old silver modem, labelled underneath as an n*l:home 120 modem, I've also been given my cousin's old n*l:home 100 modem which he unsubscribed 2 years ago. Are these modem's "moddable"? I was curious and tried logging in to 192.168.100.1 (just to have a look, not to change anything) and the "Infinite" account wouldn't let me login. Anyone know much about these old modems? Thanks |

Slacky, can you explain about the MAC addressing? The 120 I have is my sub'd modem and the 100 I have is an old one which was previously used in an area 8 miles from me (but within the same city).
This 100 modem was unsubscribed maybe 2 years ago. Will this modem be suitable for my area? I read something about needing a MAC address from a device somewhere near my area but I dont understand it? If this 100 was used 8 miles from me and still has a MAC printed underneath it, will it be suitable? Do I just follow the entire procedure as listed on the site you posted the link for? Thanks |

I know this might sound like a daft question, but if I go to someone's house within 1 mile, would this be suitable? Other users I know are within 1 mile..
