Right, forgive me if this sounds daft as hell...
Complete n00b when it comes to this area - I have a modem at the moment; now my mate has a 'faster' one apparently. Can I just swap the two over or do I have to do some other funky shit?

Your modem/router is only generally as fast as your internet connection.
Probably wont make much difference to download speeds from the internet.

And to answer your question to the full. I presume its a router he's going to give/sell you.
If so, you'd need to input your internet username and password into the new one before it will let you connect to the internet and use it.

I would personally stick with a brand name modem router like netgear or linksys (for home use), but they all do the same job at the end of the day.

Cheers for the help lads, most of it meant nothing so I think I'll just keep my modem/router box that gives me the internetz
