I turned it off and tried it again, but I could get onto the internet??? Then I looked at the settings. With the reset/working option the Mac addresses are different. I wonder why it's giving me the same address.
Do you think it might be my Comcast DLink Modem that's messing things up?? I call Comcast and they say my modem is fine.

You Internet provider uses dynamic IP addressing. That's why the ipconfig numbers wouldn't work. I had though you said in a previous post that your Internet provider used static IP addresses.
Dynamic IP addressing means that every time you reboot your modem and router, the IP number etc. that you receive from the Internet provider, and see in your router's WAN Basic page, can or will change. So you can see different IP addresses etc. in your Router Basic page every time you reboot the modem and router.
Below is Okay and what you want to see.

Just for my Information, in the router Basic page, at the bottom in the Router MAC Address box, what Router MAC address did the Netgear Router Wizard choose?
The top selection?
The Second Selection?
Or the bottom Selection?
If you can access the Internet, don't change anything in your Router WAN Basic page. It's okay.
If you use Wi-Fi, setup your Wi-Fi security as shown in you Netgear Installation guide. If you don't setup Wi-Fi security in your router, other people can use you Internet connection through their Wi-Fi connection in their computer. This can cause your home Internet LAN to be very slow, and cause problems with your Ooma Telo.
Is your Ooma Telo working now?
Using the setup Modem-Router-Ooma, if you can access the Internet and the Ooma Telo is working, you could go over to the router's LAN settings page,
NOT WAN Basic Page, don't change Basic page, LAN page and configure those setting like Aveamantium instructed.
