Can the Xfinity modem/router wire be removed from my computer (needing to install new hard drive)
Well, my computer needs a new hard drive, so I must shut it off and remove the power cord to be careful. Should I also remove the yellow Lan cable going to the Xfinity modem/router.
I'm just a beginner on this WIFI stuff so have to learn. Thanks for any help! Bob.

Thanks for your kind and quick response! I have just (December 27, 2020 ,or so) Finally left dial-up and gotten wifi !
I don't yet understand these routers. So you are saying I can unplug the yellow (LAN) wire. Install a new hard driive, turn it on, plug the yellow wire back in, and going back online will be functional again, correct?
Thanks again. Bob.
