I have no freekin idea man but I suggest that you don't waste your time dude. Your better off just rentin the modem, its only 5 extra bucks a month, which is only 60 bux a year, so I think that you should just get your money back for the modem.

Cable (i should say High Speed data) frequency's are usually over 7200Mhz , I think.

Here's a link for cable specs it's over 200 pages long. If the info is not here, I can't tell you where else to find it. I hope this helps. http://www.cablemodem.com/SP_RFI_I05_991105.pdf

The frequency isn't the issue. You must have a type of modem compatible with RR, and RR must set their network up to recognize it by its serial number or MAC address. There is no other way. I wouldn't even try, because your efforts will likely be regarded as theft of service.

You probably purchased a modem that either is not DOCSIS certified or that particular manufacturer's product is not certified by the coporate gurus at RR.The frequencies(there are two,a downstream for downloading,and an upstream for the return path)are irrelevant.That modem must be provisioned by their office to go online in their system.
