For a couple weeks now I've had a lot of comcast woes, you can read the other thread about them here. I just picked up the new modem from UPS (I had to get a ride there, Comcast wanted a signature and UPS didn't come to the right door of my apartment). Well, the old Modem, that I am still using, is a Arris, the new one is an SMC #SMC03gnv, but I don't want to activate it yet until I know the answer to a very important question: The SMC is a modem router, with no WAN port on it. I want to use my own router for privacy and so I can torrent and set settings as I see fit, but there is no WAN port, only 4 LAN ports. Is there a way to use the SMC as only a gateway/modem and disable the router function so I can use my own router?
