No, it's not supposed to. Just wanted to make sure it's working properly.

I think you may need to call their Tech Supports to give them the MAC address of the new modem.

[vi3tgamer]

call who tech supports? comcast or motoroals? i jsut call customer service?. iwant the rac in my room and the sb4200 in my sister room, if it possible

[Van Nugent]

Whoever your ISP is. The modem maker doesn't need it. :laugh:

In your case, better use a router.

i want to use the rotuer, but i have to use wires and i go carzy. i cant dl fast or play game on router

i was wondering what happens if i buy the same comcast rca modem, can it both go online at the sametime

[Van Nugent]

Nah, a good router shouldn't slow you down.

If you don't want to run wires, use 802.11g wireless networking. A little costlier than the older versions but gives you up to 54Mbps.

Forgot to tell you that 2 modems don't work simultaneously on same line.
