The Comcast routers also assign private 10.x.x.x IP addresses by default. In my experience, I've found that if you assign the static IP address to your new router, it will work just fine without changing any setting on the Comcast modem/router. With your current setup, you are essentially NATing twice, your Comcast modem is performing NAT and your router is performing NAT. Comcast business support should be able to assist you if you need it. Good Luck! Hi Tim,

When I plug in the router, it gets and internet address of 10.10.1.5 for the "internet address" on the status page. My computers get 192.168.1.x addresses. This setup works but, how do I use my public IP address? Thanks Hi Andy,
