If you are asking if you can use the 7942G as a standalone network IP phone, the answer is no. It is a Cisco proprietary phone that uses the Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) for terminal control by a Cisco phone Switch.

Yes; it has a connection marked "modem" to run to your cable modem. You can then run an Ethernet cable to your computer if you desire a wired connection or simply use it wirelessly. I use it both ways. This is an excellent, easy to set up modem.

Yes, the owner's manual says you can connect to an available network using your standard router and modem.

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

You would need to connect a dial-up modem either to a USB port or plug a card directly into a PCI slot on the motherboard. Your modem would have to be compatible with Windows 8 or whatever operating system you are running.

It connects via a Cat-6 network cable with an RJ45 end. Any of the ports will work. A straight-through cable will work fine. It's a switch, not a router, so you will still need a router between this and a cable modem, unless your cable modem has an integrated router. Since you mentioned both, I would suggest just hooking up a LAN FE port on your router into any one of the ports on this switch.

Hi, Jeremy. Since this is a dedicated modem, you cannot finish its setup without a computer with an ethernet jack

Yes. It connects readily wirelessly or with cables to commercial Internet services. Just connect to modem as you would any computer and the setup utility will get it done for you.

You can use an Ethernet cable to connect this device to an Ethernet port on your router. By plugging the USB connector on this device into a USB port on your computer you can achieve a wired connection to your network. This device does not provide WiFi capabilities.

No. You need to add a wireless router as a component in your network. All a cable modem does is take the cable signal (coax) and convert it to ethernet. Then an ethernet output from the modem can be connected to a computer directly, or to a wireless router to establish a network.

Only through a supplied adapter cable (about 3" long). Same thing with ethernet.
