I picked one of these up from CL to use on CC, took it home and plugged it in and it took me to the CC login page where I had to create an acct. The acct I created was linked to someone elses address. It worked for around 6 months, then it would always be on/off.
I hit up the guy that gave it to me, he swapped it out with a different one, and said he would give me an account number and phone number to type in. This seemed fishy, and it would take me to a comcast login screen every time I tried to use it. I changed my DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and now it works and don't get the login screen, but I just signed up for service.
My question is.. how do I check to see if the modem is even messed with? It seems like he's just stealing other peoples account info instead of tinkering w/the modems. I connected it directly to my computer and the webstar page that came up looked like the original page with no mention of haxorware anywhere. Which IP/port are you supposed to go to to check for this?
