Suppose you switch from a DSL provider to a cable provider. What do you do with the DSL Modem/Router? Usually you should toss that device. But remember: RESET THE DEVICE. Use a paperclip to push the reset button on the device. You should do this while it is on. You should keep pushing until all the lights go out and the power light flashes.
If you don't do that, then you are leaving personal information, like your previous provider user id and password to their internet server, plus all your home network information.
