Harrisonville, MO | Re: Switching from 645 to 660 modem? 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. | |

Orlando, FL | Re: Switching from 645 to 660 modem? 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. | |

Apopka, FL | Re: Switching from 645 to 660 modem? 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. | |

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

Harrisonville, MO | Re: Switching from 645 to 660 modem? 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. | |
