Re: no connection
Nope, you should be able to swap them right out. If you don't get connected, leave the modem disconnected for about 5 minutes (if there's a battery hooked up to it as well, remove the battery) and that should clear out the information about the last MAC address your modem was hooked up to allowing it to get online.
If, for some odd reason, leaving it unplugged still doesn't get you on, then disconnect the router and the modem, wait about 10 minute this time, plug in the modem and let it boot up. Once the modem is up then plug in the router and let that boot up as well. You should now be able to get on.
