Comcast has given us a Arris TG862 and I would like to have it bridge so that the router can handle all port forwarding, but I can not seem to find any way to do this. I have searched and from what I am reading I have to contact Comcast to have this setup, which does not make sense to me. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this?

Which is why I just bought my own modem quite some time ago ;)

Do you have access to the gui? Under the LAN settings do you see a Nat Mode - change that to bridge

That is in this Manual

I do not have access to the advanced features, it requires a password of the day, I am assuming that advanced is where the LAN settings are. Can you recommend a modem to purchase?

Before you do that - why don't you just call them?

Its not like they gave you that device - are they not charging you like $7 a month rental ;)

Do you use the voip features?

Well you can always do that at your router or just get a voip device behind your router, etc.

    • WhatsApp document scanning gets closer to launch as more beta testers get access

      WhatsApp document scanning gets closer to launch as more beta testers get access by Paul Hill Meta looks as though it’s getting closer to releasing WhatsApp’s native document scanner on Android because more people are now reporting they have access in the beta. This will give users a privacy-friendly way to snap photos of documents and automatically convert them to PDF ready for sharing. According to WABetaInfo, the feature comes with two modes: manual and automatic. The manual capture gives users more control over the process allowing them to adjust positioning and lighting to get the best quality scan. Automatic mode on the other hand automatically detects the edge of your document on its own and snaps the image without too much user input, making it faster and easier. Once the picture is taken, WhatsApp automatically converts it to a PDF file so that it can be shared and opened easily by the recipient. The file can be sent within private chats or group conversations. The entire scanning and conversion process takes place locally on your device, using Android’s built-in API for snapping documents. The document itself is also only stored locally until you decide to send it. Just like other WhatsApp messages, these scans are secured with end-to-end encryption when you send them to recipients. The only privacy risk is the user sending the PDF to the wrong person. The new feature was first noticed for Android a few weeks ago and with the latest beta it’s rolling out to more people. Once Meta has tested it across a wide array of devices, we will likely see it land for people on the stable version of WhatsApp. In recent weeks, we have also seen that Meta is testing new chat color themes in the beta releases. That feature doesn’t seem to have filtered down to the stable version yet, so be on the lookout for that too if that’s of interest to you.

      Silly, illinformed comment but thanks for playing anyway. I mean, are you actually comparing a default browser on well over a billion devices with Firefox?
