IP Address issues with cable modem
Is the tech correct about the Extreme reducing bandwidth? 50%?
Any suggestions on how to get my Mac to acquire valid IP address when connecting direct?
Thanks

I just switched to Charter for my ISP. Did this to get their 16MB/sec

The tech said that Apple Extremes degrades the bandwidth.
He wanted to connect directly to the Mac from the cable modem to verify what speed I am actually getting. I cannot get an Internet connection connecting direct. A 169 ip address is assigned.
So two questions.
