I will be getting an updated modem from CL in the next few days to replace the old '660' version.i have an IMac that I use to run my Lumin A1/ system. Should changing it out be as simple as plugging in the current ....phone...Ethernet...router cable...into the corresponding slots on the new modem and then following the onscreen prompts...?..I hope so,anyway.

Assuming that this is a combination modem/router/WiFi device, then you will have to set it up using a computer plugged into one of the ethernet ports. I'd imagine the default settings would be fine, but you will have to set an admin password and then set a WiFi password. If it supports both 2.4 and 5-Ghz WiFi, it may require adding a password for each one.

When I was supplied a new router from Cox communications, I plugged in the cable, logged onto the user name and Nework key which was a sticker on the router itself, I logged in all the computers and Receiver, and I'm good to go.
I don't know as my Cox setup is different. All I got from them was a Cisco cable modem, then I plug my router into it via the WAN connection. The router has a default password and username, admin/admin, that should be changed. I then have wireless access points or WiFi routers in a few locations which also have admin logins as well as WiFi passwords.
Some systems have a network login just to access Cox's network or whatever. If that's what you have, you still should login to the router and change the password which would be different from a network login.
Confused yet?

YES!!!!!! It should be here tomorrow so will know more then...
BTW, I've experimented with various cabling for a streaming audio application, and find that my Xfinity modem/router is quite sensitive to AC power cords and Ethernet cables. Definitely something to look into, IME.
The modem usually decides the wifi password so you'll need to know that in all likelihood. Often today it's on the modem. You can change it too if you want.

As long as the new modem is functioning properly I don't see why just plugging it in wouldn't work.
