Can I clone a mac address from one cable modem to another so RR
doesn't know I switched cable modems . If so, how is it done? Does
brand of cable modem matter?

Or do the newer wireless routers include a cable modem and if so, can
I clone the mac address of the orig cable modem to the new wireless
router and then connect the cable modem coax cable to the wireless
router and use the router to do the rest?

There is a way to change a cable modem's MAC address, as it is stored
in the modem's FLASH and is loaded into memory. You would need access
to the modem's firmware or console style access to change the MAC or
other settings.

However, this type of access is generally considered outside of a
typical subscriber's needs.
