When the cable installation guy asks you to see the modem so he can record the number, in no way does he mean "bring me the router." Surprising, I know.
My only defense is that K bought it and she forgot that she did NOT buy the one that came with a modem. So the fact that it clearly says "ROUTER" on the box- totally not a clue I should be expected to follow. Hey, I'm no Nancy Drew. At least not when I first wake up. Give me a few hours and a blueberry breakfast bar, and I do turn into Nancy Drew, complete with best friend Bess and boyfriend Ned.
Needless to say, the cable guy had to pull on all his professionalism not to openly point and laugh. He did give me one "you are a crazy fool" look, but he was trying not to. Fortunately he wasn't very cute OR charming, so I wasn't too terribly embarrassed. I guess there's the one benefit to not being sent the Hot Cable Guy.

when i set up our wireless router i was very glad there was a big sticker on it that said "router". it saved me when i had to call tech support and they kept telling me to unplug this and plug it into that.
