The trick to getting a modem on your own is to match your Internet
Service Provider's (ISP) protocols properly, eg. Xfinity/Comcast in my
area of the planet now requires Docsis 3.1.
Beyond that's there's not much to it:
1.) Plug the BX cable from your ISP into the modem;
2.) Plug a Cat 5/
The number you’re referring to is, I think, the Mac address of the modem. I don’t know whether it’s available anywhere other than on the printed label. You might need an iPhone app such as Seeing AI to read it, or if that fails, a local or remote source of human assistance. When I set my cable mode

to replace the Comcast modem that I was renting. All that was required was to
register the modem with Comcast by giving them the 16 or so digit number off
the bottom of the modem. It’s not the serial number, but some

Speaking of accessible modems…
Does this mean you all have experience connecting the modem to your internet
provider? Anytime I’ve googled this, it looks complicated. I’d love to stop

Sorry about that Kliphn, Kliphn sounds a lot like Clifton to me, Especially
when it goes by fast. I don’t usually go checking the spelling of familiar

Actually, a single Eeros unit is both a Router and wifi access point. The
additional units serve as nodes, that provide additional access points to the

This is not correct.
An Eeros system is a combination Router and Wifi access point, that provides
“mesh” wifi access.
A modem is a device, usually provided by your ISP, that connects your home
network or individual computer to the ISPs internet service.

That wording is a little confusing Clifton. Are you saying that it is a
modem/router combo unit? What do you mean it becomes a router when you have

Eero is a modem, it becomes a router when you have more then one. You can also
