Again, why am I disconnecting the ethernet cable?

Because your new verizon box is a DSL modem and that box does not know who you are until you tell it. But, if the Verizon person thinks you can just swap it out, then go for it, maybe its a new thing they just figured out how to do in the last 6 months. A cable internet box is swappable because there are no userid and pw's...
And you dont HAVE to disconnect the ethernet cable, but on some computers if the cable is plugged in its the DEFAULT and will override the wifi. If you unplug the ethernet cable then the computer will look for the next best thing, the wifi.
