Luckily our Comcrap exposure is minimal -- internet only (he laughed at the idea of paying for cable, and just glared at his mother when she asked about a landline telephone)
Anyway -- I accomplished what they weren't able too.
The reboot was a start but it needed more. So I reset the airport base, then powered down both it and the modem. I then powered up the modem, then powered up the base station. Then I reconfigured the base station. Finally I ran a firmware update to the base station and let it cycle through again.
Finally I had everything working wireless - and we still get to pay them for the Trouble call for the initial hookup.
Now I FULLY understand why nearly every house on his street is sporting a satellite dish.
