How to configure prior to connecting to cable provider
Hi, Just purchased a cm1200 for a home i'm closing on shortly and would like to configure it prior to installing and activiting with the service provider. Home is in a different state and I will...
ISP will be Spectrum. I have about 3 hours time while there to setup Internet, deploy a few wireless cameras and change some locks. So I need to configure DDNS, and and some port forwarding on top of activiation. Any one of these not go perfect, and I'm not going to be able to complete what I need while I'm there.
That will be tight on time.
I haven't dealt with spectrum a whole lot so not sure how long it will take.
I will comment that I have seen a few issues with the cm1200 on spectrum. Not sure if its the provisioning they use but it seems when people have issues with the cm1200, its on spectrum.
Interesting, I did check with the spectrum website for authorized modems, and the CM1200 is on it, and not even restricted to a specific version. I guess I can update this thread as to how this all goes next month.

It is authorized and I'm sure it works great for the majority. Its just something I've noticed from the forums.
And spectrum is less than helpful since its a 3rd party device.
