Seems that Comcast is lying...


I don't think it's comcast because it happens even if I just unplug
the router and modem and then connect them back up.

I can connect to the modem from the laptop and it works so,
comcast is working.

There is something odd in the TP Link router that *requires*
a manual mac cloning just to get it to work.


Cloning is just giving router mac address from laptop.
You should figure out how to make router remember *that* mac address
so no need to do it all over again.


If someone else experienced this, please explain why this
is needed.
