The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Reconfigure Comcast Business IP Gateway so can use own router

Asked by JoeBoyd in Network Routers, Computer Modems, Network Operations

I currently have a Comcast Business IP Gateway, SMC8014, connected to a switch with multiple PCs.  I want to add wireless so I want to add my own wireless router (using a Netgear WPN824).  Thus I need to reconfigure the Comcast Cable Modem/Router to act just as a Cable modem.  I have accessed the Comcast SMC8014 and have all the current settings.  Then I need to configure my router. So here are my questions:
1.) What do I need to all turn off or disable in the Comcast Modem/Router?

2.) What IP address do I need to use to configure my new router?  The modem and router each have to have their own IP address correct?  I'm assuming I got a Static IP from Comcast, the IP address to access the Comcast Gateway is 10.1.10.1.  But what is my static IP (how do I tell)? Which page in the config area do I need to look at, eg. they list under Internet Settings:  WAN DHCP IP Address, WAN Internet IP Address, Static IP Block, and under Local Settings: Gateway IP Address, IP Range Start, etc.

3.) What is a public static IP address?  They talk about public static routable IP addresses vs. private static IP address.

Thanks,
Joe B.
