12 ga. is pretty effective...and a lot of fun!

now I unplugged my old modem and installed new one successfully. one question is: how to handle this old modem? I assume it may have some information stored in the memory of it. or I can be completely wrong since I am not good at hardware stuff.

There's probably a Doom port for it floating around somewhere, if you need an oddball retro gaming device. :laugh:

A perfect shot is had at the distance where the buckshot spread matches the size of the modem. :-D
I was thinking 00 Buck Shot ought to work just fine.

Many modems can be configured as repeater, I use an old one to improve WIFI coverage. It had been used in its 2nd life as a switch (replaced by an 8 port switch). Another one I use to create a standalone network for testing. Other ideas - create a dedicated guest (or kids) network. Easy to enable/disable. - create a cabled cluster of Raspberry PI's
your input is enlightening:thumbsup: My Modem is ARRIS SB6190.

Is it a 1200 Baud modem? did you upgrade to a 56k modem? I could use your old one for my AOL account.
it has a label: CAN ICES-3(B) /NMB-3(B). is this related with Baud rate?

Sorry, bad old timer 90's joke. 56Kb Modems in the 90's, now most of the time because of Fiber Optics I see routers seldom a modem.
ADSL/VDSL are still modems. As are the Oasis ones. VDSL and Oasis is still used in parts of our "modern" internet. Not sure what my one at home is, but it's an additional box that runs IP over the POTS twisted copper pair, and has a standard ethernet port on the other side. They call it "Fibre to the Curb" (FTTC).
