Just a couple of basic questions..

So I wounder if I get a HFC Mac address that i scanned from a different node and put it on my modem does it download the certs with the MAC address all the time or does it like depend on the isp?

It does not download the original modem cert but hax do make its own self signed cert that is not bpi + compliant. It may work with bpi bypass but not with bpi + and new security.
