Ok thanks I'll try the cycsco modem out. So when I get it I just call Cox and give them the new MAP address? Right

You can call them to perform the set up over the phone but you can also connect the modem over the internet. Set up the modem as usual (Cable cord, Ethernet cable and all that stuff) and then connect to either your computer or Wifi router. Once the modem has connected to the internet, open your internet browser and go to any link and you will be redirected to Cox and you can perform the connection yourself by entering in your Last name, phone number tied to your Cox account and Pin or Social Security #. After entering your account info, you will be given an option to reconnect a prior modem or perform the connection setup for the new one. Select set up a new router option and then select the router type and model from the drop down menus and then type in the Modem's Serial number and MAC address into the boxes and click the Connect button (or whatever it was called).

It takes up to 15 minutes to perform the set up. I did this yesterday when I set up a new Motorola Surf Board 6141. Easy as pie if you go the internet setup route.

Hope this helps
