Windows Vista to Windows 7: Internet Concerns

[johnprestongc]

I currently have Windows Vista installed on my computer and plan to install Windows 7. I intend to do the full install by reformatting my hard drive. My concern is whether or not I will still have my current internet connection after reformatting. I understand that drivers will have to be installed but are there any settings on my computer or internal to the modem that I need to take note of before reformatting.

My Modem is a Netgear CG814WG v2 and my ISP is Time Warner and my internet is coming through cable.

With the exception of drivers it should be fine, since the modem is not internal.
