MAC Adresses for NTL...
 

Hi - quick question,

I will be installing a wireless router for a friend; does NTL require you to register the new MAC address with them, or will any device plugged into the cable modem work via DHCP?

Thanks,

James

Any device plugged into a cable modem will work with DHCP - no need to register (make sure you power off and power on the modem again after any change of connection).

STBs require registration of the device, by mac addy. after changing over the connected device, and rebooting the modem, you should be taken automatically to ntl's registration page. You'll need the customer account PID and password.
