This is all new equipment for me. I didn't even know what I needed when I first went shopping. It was a sales person at Best Buy who pointed out that what I need was the cable modem router combination unit. The prices at Best Buy and Microcenter were the same. I was advised not to try for the cheapest one, but to pay the bucks needed to get something that would hold up.

Usually, for just about any procedure, there's a YouTube video (or several) to walk you through the procedure. I think I'll get through it.

Thanks for writing.
