I'm about to get a cable modem. I have Cox cable now. I don't have a
desktop. Just a laptop and a Dlink DI-524 wireless router. Anyone have any
advice before I do this? I haven't had high-speed in awhile. I just need to
plug the rj45 out from the cable modem into the Dlink and then config the
Dlink for cable modem use. I guess I need to put in my username and password
once that is assigned to me from the cable company. I didn't want to load
allot of bloat ware on my laptop in order to config the cable modem.

Most cable Internet uses DHCP, not a userid and password. Just be sure
to power off the cable modem for a minute and then back on after
connecting your wireless router so the cable modem system will
reconfigure itself properly.
