Jason, I hope you are Livin' Good. On a serious note. What stops someone from going down to the center of town, launching a little wifi SSID named xfinitywifi and collecting your customers usernames and passwords? Also, don't you think there is something just morally wrong with the fact that your customers don't know they are providing a public access point out of their homes by just being comcast HSI customers? I am all for wifi everywhere, but this isn't the way to do it. http://i.imgur.com/R3xCpZO.png Pic is related, one of those access points isn't owned by Comcast.

If you got an email like that you had a D2.0 device and needed a D3.0 device. A side benefit is the device either now or very soon supports native dual stack. Jason
