Not a problem.  Most routers have a setting for "clone MAC address" just
for this purpose.  Or, you can contact tech support at the cable co, and
they change the MAC they're looking for.  I don't know about "just leave it
connected".  I didn't try that, but it certainly didn't work immediately.

They don't care if you have a router.  I think there was something about
"five PCs" in the user's guide.  Routers are down to $29.95 in San Jose.
Wireless for $49.95 at Office Depot.

I would step through the config screens.  Turn on the firwall features, 
move the address range away from default, and turn off remote
administration.
