You will need a separate modem, you normally get a modem from your internet provider. It will work with your macs, tivo/netflix/youtube.

This is just a modem. You will need a router to distribute wifi around your place.

This is a router only. Depending on your type of internet service (e.g. cable, DSL, etc) you will need some type of "modem". Some manufacturers build cable modems and DSL modems with routers built in. If you need both, then it would be more economical to purchase a modem/router combination.

Yes, I have it connected to my Router. My router connected to Modem and all other devices connected to Router.

This is a cable modem, you still need a router with WIFI. Look for one with b/g/n capabilities.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

You need a simple network router.(@ $15) Router output into modem. Two single inputs into router. Using this setup for about a year.

no, its only a very good modem. Connect a router to it and you have your own wifi. I recommend having a stand alone modem and a stand alone router instead of a modem/router combined unit.

Yes, you would also need the modem. The internet provider I am currently using provided the modem, but I needed to purchase the router - so it is not "all in one".

Yes. The router connects to whatever modem you may have. This comes with an Ethernet cord in the box also.

It's a router, not a modem. The modem is what connects to your coaxial cable coming from the provider. The modem then has another slot for an Ethernet cable that goes on to your router. The modem is also what you're probably thinking of. All routers work with all cable providers because they're only meant to relay the service signal your modem is receiving. Look up the difference between a modem and a router if you want to learn more.

Yes, this is only a router. The order is: I.S.P. hookup to modem to router to devices.

No, it is not a modem router combo. You wil need to purchase a router to work in conjunction with the DPC3008.

No, it's just a router, not a modem. Depend on whether you want to have DSL (CenturyLink for example) or Cable (Cox etc), you will have to buy a DSL modem or a Cable modem. You can save some bucks buy a modem/router combo like Actiontec 300 Mbps Wireless-N ADSL Modem Router (GT784WN) (DSL) or NETGEAR N300 Wi-Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C3000) (Cable). Good luck!
