Yes, CG3000DCR is what's provided and it has 4 ports.
So the IPs doesn't have to be assigned to specific port?
So if Comcast give me 100.0.0.50 thru 100.0.0.54 then I just tell my 750 that the WAN is one (ie 100.0.0.51) and I'm off to the races?
In that case there won't be any issues with double NAT and the usual double router mess?
Will CG3000DCR have to do any port forwarding or routing?
I'm sure this will be all clear to me in 4 hours when I'm onsite but the cell coverage in the building is non existent so if I need to call Comcast tech support, it will be challenging to ask them questions and verity their idea of solution.
I've personally never ran into that Netgear unit before, so I couldn't tell you if ports need to be assigned or not, sorry. But with most modems it's not necessary, they are typically setup for DHCP.
Setup your 750 with one of the provided static IP's as your WAN port address.
You shouldn't be running into any double NAT issues since you only have a gateway/modem and your/his routers. I don't believe that Netgear unit is a router as well.
