I just wondered if it is safe to connect my router to my nice new modem, which I got working today?

Does this make it easier to be detected or anything?

Yes, just don't use a mac address on your router if it has been connected to a legit modem - you should be able to change the routers mac from it's http control panel

The router is one I bought from another company, not from provider. It has been used at an old address but not at this one?

Is that ok

That should be fine

That should not be a problem. If you are unsure, then contact the company you bought the route from and they should be able to tell you anything that you would need to check.
