Moving to a new home with my Nighthawk purchased a few months ago

Question

Hello Community,I will be moving soon to a new home, taking my Nighthawk C7000v2 with me.&nbsp; I purchased it last December.Are there any special disconnect - reconnect procedures I should follow to make this process go smoothly?Thanks,Joe

are you changing ISP's?&nbsp;You'd want to make sure its compatible with your isp&nbsp;

GoWest · Answer

Yes, I will. It is supposed to be compatible

then it *should* work.I say should because I've seen an ISP provision a router with a firmware that caused it so others couldn't provision it. I haven't seen it in a while though.&nbsp;

I purchased it at Costco I think, not through an ISP. So no ISP had a chance to install any restrictive code.But the larger question is are there any special disconnect/reconnect procedures to follow?Or does one simply just unplug the router, move it to the new home, and start over as though the router is brand new right out of the box?Thanks!

I've moved multiple time and used the same modems when moving. Its usually just cancelling your account and unplug, move, then have the new isp reprovision it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even though you bought it at costco, when an ISP provisions it, it has the isp's version of the firmware&nbsp;
