My Modem on a Free Account?

I recently moved from one apartment (which I had an Internet account with Cox but now canceled) to another apartment which provides free Internet and TV service from Cox.  A Netgear modem/bridge and a DVR are also provided.  However, I would like to use the same modem that I had when I was living in the old apartment.

Can I just swap it out?  Or, do I need to call someone at Cox first or after?

Cox's system should still know about this modem of mine, but I was wondering how to go about doing this.

Thank you for your help.

Hi DE2000, the forums are for customers to help each other with technical issues. Please feel free to reach out to us via FB or Twitter @COXHELP. In the meantime, you may want to check with your apartment management to see what the specifics are for the account, i.e. are there any equipment restrictions already in place. If you reach out to us via Social Media, please send your new account information in a private message.

Thank you for your reply.  The apartment management knows nothing, as usual.  Already asked, and they told me to ask Cox...

I'll try the FB.

Thank you.

Tried to use Cox's FB, but can't figure out how to use it.

Anyway, I got my answer from another website.

Thanks.

If the "answer" is not from an authorized Cox source it may not be reliable. If you need additional assistance let us know. What was the answer?

It's from an official Cox monitored forum.

The answer is yes.  Just need to call tech support to add the modem.

The Cox FB page is messed up.  Lot's of spams and negative reviews.  And I can't find a place where I can private message you guys.

Just did that...

The FB page I visited was the Cox at Santa Margarita, since that area applies to me.
