Router mac

[thighguy_uk]

If i change to a new router, do i need to inform VM and tell them the MAC address of the new router?

Its just that my new router gives a new IP address and keeps dropping the connection, my old router, gives my old IP address and the connection is fine.

Just turn off/on the modem when you change router..

can someone tell me the correct procedure for power
cycling the modem and the router

Assuming that you have an Ambit modem,
With both turned off, turn the power on to the modem & wait for the lights marked sync & rdy to lock, then with the ethernet cable connected, turn the power on to the router.

Exactly as Techboy said above, and the same with all Virgin modems
