Can I use NETGEAR CM500 for Comcast Business Class with one static IP address?
I have got a brand-new NETGEAR CM500 DOCSIS3.0 modem and I wonder if t can save my monthly modem rental fee.
NEGEAR says the CM500 is ComcastCertified and it can be configured to use a static IP address.
I have tried a Motrola/Arris SB6141 after being told by a Comcast tech support it would be compatible, but the reality was that I was turned down when trying to install it by another tech support telling me the SB6141 could not use a static IP address.
- Comcast Business Class account
- One static IP address
- Modem must use bridge mode
- NETGEAR CM500
Can I use?
Thanks,
hiro

Even if you didnt have a static IP, you still wouldnt be able to use the Netgear as it is not listef as compatible for business service. The official list is at http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net and while the Netgear is compatible with residential service, its not for business.

Thanks a lot for the very prompt reply. It's sad, but your reply saved me from wasting my time over the weekend for unsuccessful attempts.
