Re: Can Someone explain to Me what Provisioning a Router is. I 've seen that on the forum by a couple of people as solving a router connection problem. In simple terms, you can't just buy a modem and connect it to comcast's cable and have it work. Comcast needs to know what is connected to their cable.

Reprovisioning - what does it mean? I had Embarq troubleshoot a twice daily intermittent DSL sync loss on Monday. As I expected their cable testing was going to show up normal as I had extensive testing done 3 years ago that returned all positives and I did not see any reason that would change other than human errors. Finally the tech told me that he re provisioned my line.

Comcast doesn't care whether you have a router connected to your modem, though the modem does need to be power-cycled any time you change the device that is connected to it.
