I don't know if it will help or not, but I wrote the following bash file
for my own use.
You can change the IP addresses of the cable modem and the router.
If you have neither then '#' out the appropriate lines and continue. The
checks are
out of normal sequence because I wrote this on the fly.
You just have to copy-and-paste into a file ending with .sh and make it
executable.
