Cisco WRT160N Wireless Router

In Northern California, Comcast is a major media provider.

While configuring my new Cisco Linksys WRT160N Wireless router, out of the box, it would not connect to Comcast to secure an IP.

After some research online, I found it necessary to specify a MAC address clone. It wouldn't pick up a Comcast IP otherwise.

Once, logged into the router, under "Setup > MAC Address Clone", make sure the "Enabled" radio button is selected, and click "Clone My PC's MAC". Shortly after, the router should be able to obtain an IP address from Comcast.
