| Switching from 645 to 660 modem? How hard is it to do? Can I just plug in and go so to speak? Any advantages or disadvantages? |

Harrisonville, MO | You should be able to swap them out without changing anything if:
* You aren't bridging
AND
* You are using DHCP
The 660 handles multiple data streams and faster speeds much better than the 645. |

| Its almost like plug and play!
just plug in to AC outlet, and off you go with wireless or plug you ethernet cable in and off you go!
fun huh? |

| Make sure to use the new ethernet cable some 645s came with a crossover cable and not a standard cat5 cable, as well use the new power cord and your set. |
|
| Is it true that the 660's have issues with services like XBOX LIVE? |

The easiest swap is if the OP IS bridged - then the modem is almost irrelevant. |

The 660's do not have UPnP enabled by default. Enable it and then the Xbox live issue is fixed. Make sure you check all 3 boxes on the UPnP screen and hit apply. |

If I remember correctly, the default condition on the modem is routed, however...if the OP is routed and DHCP, it truly is plug and play. |
