I’m getting a new cable modem tomorrow. If rather not have to go through resetting all my fixed IP addresses for my devices. Any way to copy from old to new?

Cable modem or all-in-one modem+router?

Cable modems are configured by your ISP and you will have to call (or some can do online) them to have it provisioned, and then they will remove the old one and configure the new one with whatever you pay for.

If you mean the router LAN configuration, that would depend if your old one has a way to export the new one understands. Probably not with consumer hardware.
