i have a linksys router but i also have a modem from comcast on top, my mom said i can't switch out the modem because its made for comcast but she isn't very good with electronics neither am i so i was wondering if i could buy a newer modem and just switch the two?Yeah, you can change modems but Comcast has to open their gateway. Have your modem # ready and ask Comcast ahead of time because sometimes they'll say they will switch you on in a few days. Then you can take one modem offline and immediately install the new modem and you won't be delayed from using it. That's the way I remember it, anyway.
Edit:
Go talk to the people who are selling you the modem and they should be specific on what to do.
I forgot to tell you, I have a Linksys router and modem.
