Hi folks [View all]

We've been renting a modem from cable provider for internet and tv. How difficult is it to replace it with one we purchase to avoid those dang monthly charges? We're slightly tech savvy but would like an expert to set it up if possible. Need advice. Thanks

You can physically go to Bestbuy and they will help you pick the right cable modem/router. CentralMass Jan 2023 #4

When I bought mine, I hooked it up, then called ATT (as my internet provider) Ferrets are Cool Jan 2023 #5
