If you are interested, please call me at 352-255-5290 Using a crescent wrench, pliers unscrew coax cable from old modem then attach to new modem plug into to power source turn on modem.
Next contact Comcast and provide them with your MAC ADDRESS listed on NEW modem. When connection is established activate Firestick with prompts will ask for NETWORK PASSWORD listed on modem.then it will ask for Amazon Prime USERNAME and PASSWORD. Activation must be repeated on each Firestick. Then download YOUTUBE app log into account to register and start watching.
Comcast will not provide support with your new modem.

It’s actually very simple.

Before you start unpluging things, how did you do wifi in your house? do you have a separate router or do you have the Comcast box which is a combined modem and router in one box? If your new modem does not do wifi internally, you will need a router so that the Firesticks can connect over wifi. I prefer separate modems and routers but that is a personal preference.

Good luck.

Brain surgery is easy, once you know how to do it.

I replaced Comcast's modem/router(wifi)with a combined one recommended by Comcast's website-if yours isn't compatible with their electronics you'll need an ISP that will. Without it your YouTube etal will not work.

The person needs assistance, not directions on how to do it! Streaming is presently the way to save money .. The cable company has been porking us for years...
