Do CM400/CM500 support euroDOCSIS?

Hi,

thanks for your quick respone.

My ISP is called "KMS München" --> www.kms.tv.
You are right, most cable ISPs provide free routers. But you don't get pure (bridge) modems or wifi routers for free. You can hire or buy wifi routers but modems are not available at all at them moment. The routers the ISPs provide are remote-configured so you cannot change any settings as well so you cannot get routers into bridge/modem mode to avoid double-NAT if you want to use an own router.

Since last summer there is a new law here wich forces all providers (DSL and cable) to allow customers to bring their own modem and configure them theirselves.

In my case I want to use the modem together with another router (without modem of course). Many people want that but at the moment there are no cable modems with 16x4 or 24x4 on the market in Germany while most providers require the own modems to be able to use at least 16 channels. Vodaphone, which is our biggest cable ISP in Germany has a detailed technical document with theirs specifications (in englisch) here.

BTW: The German word for not being allowed to bring your own modem is "Routerzwang". You will find a lot of forums where people are happy that the "Routerzwang" is forbidden now but are sad that there are still no modems available.

Markus.
