I have no dog in this fight, but I'd be interested to learn why the
default LAN IP address of this thing was set at "192.168.1.1", instead
of the previous standard for cable-TV gizmos, "192.168.0.1".
Apparently, that decision has overloaded the support training system.
What was the (perceived) benefit?
