Dundee, IL | Swapping a 3801 with a 3800 I purchased a 3800 Modem. I have Uverse internet only. If I want to swap the 3801 with the 3800 what is involved? Is it just plug n play? If I wanted to swap my exiting 3801 with another 3801 what is involved?
Thanks for the help. |

| What are you trying to accomplish by swapping a leased modem for another leased modem? |

Plug and play for the most part. Remember you'll have a new SSID(Wifi Name)/Network Key, but all that information is found on the equipment itself. |

Cleburne, TX | Improve DSL performance and enhanced interoperability with a new VDSL2 modem.
Increase system performance with a dual-core processor (2Wire Denali).
Higher HPNA-over-coax speeds with integrated Copper-Gate 3210 chipset:
Frequencies used change from 12-28MHz to 12-44Mhz
Throughput changes from 84Mbps to 200Mbps
Common mode filtering improvements on twisted pair and coaxial interfaces, that reduce power noise ingress that impacts VDSL 2 performance on the 3800 RG.
Smaller, more compact industrial design, with a smaller footprint and black in color.
Improved two-prong power supply with a small improvement in noise mitigation.
Slightly re-designed base/stand
Lower cost.
These are the reasons why the 3801 is better than the 3800. |

| You just stated all the reasons why one would upgrade to the 3801 from the 3800, when the OP clearly stated he purchased a 3800 and wants to use it to replace a 3801. |

Cleburne, TX | The OP wanted to know what was involved. What's involved: You're going to plug the 3800 into the same wall jack (with the same cables), and then you're going to enjoy U-verse internet. However, please keep in mind the reasons I stated in my second post as the 3801 is better than the 3800 in some ways.
Better?
