When you rent a modem from your internet service provider, it\u2019s usually on a monthly lease. That means when your contract is up, you must return the device or pay a fee to keep using it. Failure to do one of those two things will result in additional charges from your ISP that can add up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article points you in the right direction for returning your cable modem if there are any such terms in your lease. The majority of ISPs won\u2019t ask where you live or prefer that you mail it back to them instead of dropping it off at a local branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latter option is almost always more convenient for the customer and recommended unless there\u2019s some special circumstance preventing such an action. Wherever you decide to leave or send your modem, check with the provider beforehand about their specific instructions on how to return yours. Here are some common places that you might be able to return your cable modem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Related Article: <a

your area, you can take your modem back there. This might be the most convenient option if you live close to one of their offices. Your company may have a set drop-off location for returning devices at their main office. Or, you can ask for instructions on how to return your device when you contact them about bringing it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_closest_branch_or_store_location\"><\/span>The closest branch or store location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The closest branch or store location is the most convenient place to return your cable modem, but it is not always available. If you do not have access to one of these, then your next best option would be to drop it off at a UPS Store. UPS stores will accept your return and send it back to the provider for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_shipping_facility_or_warehouse\"><\/span>A shipping facility or warehouse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>: Many ISPs prefer that you ship it back to them instead of returning it to a local branch. This is especially true if there\u2019s any mention of additional fees on your lease agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tips_for_Returning_Your_Cable_Modem\"><\/span>4 Tips for Returning Your Cable Modem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Contact your provider: This is the first step in returning your leased cable modem to your ISP. Your provider might have specific instructions that you need to know before picking up or sending in the device. These will depend on the company, so be sure to contact them before doing anything else.<\/li><li>Plan for downtime: The return process might take a few days, which means you\u2019ll need to plan for temporary downtime in order to make sure everything goes smoothly. If you return it at a store, plan on taking it with you and then returning it when you\u2019re done at home. If you\u2019re mailing your leased cable modem back, send it priority mail so that it arrives within two days of being shipped out (compared to 3-5 for regular mail).<\/li><li>Use some packing materials: If you\u2019ve been using the leased cable modem for a while, there may be some dust or grime built up on the exterior of the device. Make sure that when you return it, there isn\u2019t any dirt or dust left behind by wiping off your leased cable modem with a clean cloth before packing up and shipping back to the manufacturer or handing over at a store location.<\/li><li>Follow instructions carefully: Each one of your ISP\u2019s leased cable modems will have different instructions about how they should be returned, and that includes instructions on where they should be returned as well as what kind of packaging they require.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Return_Your_Cable_Modem_The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span>How to Return Your Cable Modem: The Bottom Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That concludes our Bell Modem return guide. If you found this helpful, please share it with friends and family who may have had the same question. The more people that find out about the importance of returning a cable modem, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to always check your contract to see what they require of you in regards to returning your cable modem. It&#8217;s important to do so because if you don&#8217;t return it, you&#8217;ll be charged an additional fee for keeping it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_return_my_old_Bell_modem\"><\/span><strong>How do I return my old Bell modem?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re switching to a new provider or just want to upgrade your modem, then you\u2019ll need to return your old Bell modem. Simply take the box it came in and follow the instructions on the back of the box for returning your modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re giving away your old Bell modem, then you can go through the same process as when returning it: take the box it came in and follow the instructions on the back of the box for recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do I cancel my Bell Internet service?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few requirements to canceling your Bell I<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/ca\/nl\/st-johns\/profile\/telephone-system-dealers\/bell-aliant-0087-2315\/complaints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nternet service<\/a>.

You can select between the standard Fibe cable modem or the new FTTH Bell internet modem. The standard Fibe cable modem is set up to work with the Bell network, so you\u2019re basically just plugging it in and connecting it to your TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use your own modem, you would need to order the FTTH Bell internet modem. Keep in mind that this will be an additional cost; there are no costs associated with the standard Fibe cable modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you replace Bell modem?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use Bell as your internet service provider, then it\u2019s very important you return your modem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t return the modem, you may be charged for it and could be liable for paying for a new one if the old one is lost. If you have any questions about returning your Bell modem, please contact us today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I replace Bell router with my own?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to replace Bell router with your own, you should consult some professionals first. The reason is that it can be quite dangerous if you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re doing. You can have electric shocks and other potential risks, so it&#8217;s better to consult a professional for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What modems does Bell use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bell Canada offers home internet in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces. To use Bells\u2019 services at home or in your small business, you need a modem. A modem is a device that allows you to connect to the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The modem is much like a computer with network capabilities, but it facilitates your connection to the internet instead of connecting you to other networks. Bell\u2019s modems are usually flat and rectangular in shape with antennas on each side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;They come in different colours depending on what type of plan you have, so if you want something specific these devices are easy enough to find. It often has an antenna port on one end as well as a cable port on the other end so that they can be connected properly to your cable provider and your computer respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do I move my Bell modem?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a Bell modem and the need to move it, then you should know that you can safely do so without any major repercussions. Within your home, you may need to move your Bell modem for any number of reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, some households will place their modems in a cabinet when they can\u2019t get them to function properly with other devices that are close by. Other homes might want to disguise the fact that they have a wireless modem and want it out of sight as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same is true if you use your modem with a business or need access to it while traveling or on the go. You can transfer your internet modem from one location to another without needing to contact your ISP provider first. There are also plenty of ways you can safely store your modem in an out-of-the-way cabinet so that it\u2019s not in plain view at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is Bell Home Hub 2000 a router?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bell Home Hub 2000 is not a router. It is the modem that connects to your home\u2019s phone line and provides wifi throughout your house. The Bell Home Hub 2000 is a modem, which means it doesn&#8217;t have any features for configuring or managing the network. However, if you&#8217;re looking for a router, you can find high-speed wireless routers on the Rogers website!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the difference between Bell modem 2000 and 3000?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bell modem 2000 and 3000 are both used for connecting to the internet. The modem is a device that is generally connected to your computer or laptop, and it&#8217;s one of the first steps in connecting to the internet. The modem does not have wireless capability like some other devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"s1_Do_you_need_a_modem_for_Wi-Fi\"><\/span><a><\/a><a href=\"#_msocom_1\">[s1]<\/a>&nbsp;Do you need a modem for Wi-Fi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to connect to the internet wirelessly, you need a modem. A modem is a device that converts digital signals from your ISP into a form your devices can understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But do you need a modem for Wi-Fi? Wi-fi is an abbreviation for Wireless Fidelity, which means it\u2019s wireless. If you want to connect wirelessly, then yes, you will need a modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;You don\u2019t necessarily have to have one with wired internet access in order to get Wi-Fi service, but you will need one if all of your devices will be connected via Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_buy_a_modem_and_router\"><\/span>Do I need to buy a modem and router?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use cable internet, you will need to rent a modem and\/or router from your ISP. This is not the case if you use DSL or other high-speed internet providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_modems_still_used\"><\/span>Are modems still used?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A modem is a device that modems data signals from one location to another. The data signal is typically converted from analog to digital form, and at the destination, it&#8217;s converted back into an analog signal for use by the receiving device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary purpose of a cable modem is to facilitate the sharing of one high-speed internet connection over a home network, or over the internet. Cable modems are used in most homes with cable television service, and they&#8217;re also used by many businesses with slower broadband connections such as DSL or dial-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term often refers specifically to residential gateways that connect coaxial cables from a provider (e.g., Comcast) with Ethernet cables that carry data in a computer network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_modem_if_I_dont_have_cable\"><\/span>Do I need a modem if I don&#8217;t have cable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re renting a modem from your ISP, don&#8217;t use the device for any other purpose. If you&#8217;re not renting a modem but are still using one that your ISP gave you, it&#8217;s best to return the device when your lease period expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t get another cable modem if you don&#8217;t return yours on time. If you want to use your own modem, make sure that it is compatible with your ISP&#8217;s service and that it supports DOCSIS 3.0 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_have_WiFi_with_just_a_modem\"><\/span>Can you have WiFi with just a modem?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, your cable modem will include a WiFi router. If you don\u2019t want to use that WiFi router or it doesn\u2019t work well, you can buy a separate one. Your Internet service provider may recommend a WiFi router that works best with their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have your own WiFi router and are looking for a cable modem to pair it with, remember that the cable modem must match the speed of the rest of your network. For example, if you have a 150Mbps connection from your ISP, but your modem is only rated at 100Mbps, then this will be bottleneck in your connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can I get WiFi with just a modem? Cable modems typically do not come with a built-in wireless router so you can get WiFi without buying another device. You could purchase a separate wireless router if you want one or use the wireless capabilities of the computer connected to the modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;While this might seem like an easy option, there are limitations on how many devices can connect wirelessly at once and how far away they need to be from each other. In most cases, those who want more than five connected devices will need both a wireless router and cable modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQS\"><\/span>FAQS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1652527589131\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_I_want_to_return_my_cable_modem\"><\/span>What if I want to return my cable modem?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The majority of ISPs won\u2019t ask where you live or prefer that you mail it back to them instead of dropping it off at a local branch.

Installing a telecommunications cabinet is an excellent way to isolate the modem from other noises and heat sources. If you don\u2019t have an extra cabinet lying around, but do have plenty of room in your own cabinets, you can place your Internet modem there instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to put your Internet modem in a cabinet, check with the manufacturer before doing so. Some modems have specific requirements or limitations when it comes to storage temperatures and humidity. You should also read through any user manuals to learn about any potential hazards related to storing the modem in a certain location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cabinets that are too humid or hot can cause damage to your modem over time.
