That's good, a basic cable modem. No built-in router to complicate things.

If you mean the R7000P, don't worry. What you have is fine. Unless you have fancy needs, it should do what you want.

If it is second hand, there is a good chance that the router has some settings in there from the original owner.
I doubt if they bothered to clear those out, so it is a good idea to do a factory reset on the thing and set it up from scratch.

Don't worry, it isn't complicated, and I doubt if you will have done much to tweak it for your needs. And you already know how to set it up. You've done it already.

you can feed in the model number and find all the documentation for your hardware.
The Modem I picked up I just purchased from Amazon. My ISP said I should look for something with a DOCSIS 3.0 so I did just that. The old modem was about 9+ years old. The Modem I just purchased is a Netgear CM700.
I found a Netgear Nighthawk R7000/AC1900 on Facebook marketplace. Came with the power cable and the ethernet cable and that's it. It appears to be quite new and the guy said it's under a year old. Investigating online shows that they are in fact newer on the market.
Anyway - I asked the guy if he ever changed the IP address of the router and he wasn't aware that he did. It sat on a shelf for most of it's life according to the guy.
Right now I have great internet connection etc. but I would like to be able to get in and change password etc. set parameters. I am learning more about this as I typically do not do this type of thing. Very novice at networking. The help is greatly appreciated and when I get home tonight and try the reset as mentioned above I will let you know if it works. :)
