I am considering the purchase of a new Actiontec MI424-WR Rev F router, in order to get Gigabit ethernet and Wireless N.  Is it possible to replace my current Verizon supplied Actiontec MI424-WR Rev C without involving Verizon support?  Can I just release the lease on the old one, then plug in the new one?  Do I need to clone the mac address of the old router to the new one?

I don't think any of these Actiontec's were ever legally sold.  I.e. they are the property of Verizon.

However I don't think there is anything special needed in replacing one of these routers with another.

That's what I suspected.  The one I was thinking about getting is offered on ebay, not as an auction, but as a "buy it now" item.  They claim it is new and in the original sealed box, and it looks like they have more than one of them.  Probably "fell off a truck", so I'll steer clear of it.
