Master Binky Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any experience modding cable modems. I'm not looking at doing anything nefarious, I just want to spoof the current mac of my crappy cable modem with a nicer one (motorola surfboard sb6120). Scenario: The cable provider only allows their specific model, but I spoke to a 2nd tier tech support (for the installers) and he said he couldn't suggest I do it, but said it is possible someone could *wink wink*. The thing is the cheap brand they use has issues when I actually use the connection heavily. I'm fairly sure it overheats and drops the connection when it thinks it will screw me over the best. Also, I have swapped it out previously only to still get the same problems. I can't do anything with it this moment because I don't ahve a jtag connector laying around at home (yet), but my curiousity pushed me to inquire with you guys.

Locutus Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 If it's possible it would be in the modem settings, if not you may have to update it etc. I'm sure it can probably be done, but not positive on whether you can do it with your specific modem.
