I have been on comcast cable for a while (I have subbed modem) but there is one problem. I live in 2 different places, and In the house that I use the least is the one that has the internet. My most used house has no internet, so I usually have to go to starbucks every time I need to use the internet. I have tried cloning my modem by putting the mac address and serial # of my old modem (A) to my new modem (B) but it did not work. I was wondering, how do I clone my sb5100 from my other house (house A) to my new spare sb5100 that I'm going to keep in my other house {house B} (the one with no internet).
Modem Info-
My new modem ( Motorola SB5100 ) has SIGMA X2 (A)
My subbed modem ( Motorola SB5100 ) is not modded (B)
UPDATE: I live in california

simple question if you take your subbed modem from house one and plug it in at house 2 does it work?

Copying the HFC mac and Serial (worthless) is NOT cloning

There are a few ways to get the certs off of a 5100 modem, which is what you need in order to clone your sub. If I was trying to clone the sub... I would use a hardware flasher and download the entire flash (from the sub) and then reflash the other modem with the back-up from the sub. Then just unplug the modem when you leave one house or the other. So that way it (the clone) doesn't knock your sub offline. And to stay under the radar of the ISP as well.
