For Comcast:

Mine is a TG1682G, which I'm betting lacks PIE. So how do we get an upgrade?

It's running in bridge mode so I can run my own DHCP server and override 
the default Comcast DNS servers, allowing me to use local names in my 
network. I run my own OpenWRT router behind it to do that. I'd love to 
eliminate the extra hop so how about giving us more control over the 
integrated DHCP(6) server? Let me override the options, both defaults 
and in fixed MAC-based assignments.
