I set up a new apple wireless router and set up dhcp for the WAN access, but I couldn’t get the new wireless router to pick up an IP address from my comcast modem. It’s a modem for cable internet. I unplugged the modem and tried resetting it, but I still couldn’t get the dang router to pick up an IP address. Finally, I removed the battery from the cable modem, unplugged everything, and then replugged the modem in first and then the new apple wireless router and it finally worked. The battery power must preserved some hardware settings that wont work with the new wireless until they are cleared from the modem. It took way longer than it should have, but now I have great wireless coverage at home.
