Glad you are upgraded, but what you have said is incorrect- as far as the ntl system/ modem is concerned, a router connected to it is just a device with a mac address- same as a pc/ xbox/ ps2 etc etc.

It is perfectly possible to upgrade with a router connected. Being unable to identify the mac of the modem is most likely caused by a proxy server being specified
