2. It's not difficult at all.

Go to the store or visit an online site and buy one.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but I am sort of in your position.

I am a few days away from having cable run to where I live. There is currently no connection. My about-to-be provider Comcast Xfinity gave me the option of renting equipment from them or buying it on my own. The cost of renting quickly exceeds the cost of owning, in just about a year.

Following the guidelines provided by Comcast Xfinity, I went to Microcenter and bought a Motorola MG7550 cable modem router.

There are several other cable modem routers available. This was the least expensive Motorola specifically labeled as being a good match for Comcast Xfinity. I see Microcenter has the ever so slightly less evolved Motorola MG7540. I might have bought that if I had seen it. It's no big deal.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MG7540 AND MG7550?

The salesperson at Microcenter advised not paying more for features I wouldn't need.
