the only thing that might be plugged into the modem is a phone line if your house has phone service through the cable company. if it is, so what, the house will be unable to make or recieve calls for 5 minutes.the tv isnt involved with the modem.
even if the tv does come through the modem. so what. it will be down for 2 minutesi have comcast/xfinity and i reset the modem like monthly for being stupid on me.it never affects the tv, that is on 24/7but god forbid i unplug the damn dvr. gotta wait loving half an hour for the thing to reset the guide
A modem actually connects you to the internet while a router splits the internet via ethernet or wifi.
Why are you over complicating this? You did this in the other thread, too.
For example, when I reset the /modemrouter combo, it wont shut off TV?
So they both have nothing to do with cable tv?
Nothing at ALL.
I swear I already answered these questions in the duplicate thread you have in Help right now..
My bad, I forgot to look.
