As long as you can connect an ethernet/lan cable from your router/modem to the device, yes.

Well, if you have a Internet-cable-modem-cable-router-cable-WAP121 ))wifi))) kind of config, and place this AP on a different room with a long ethernet cable for example, YES it will work, you will have 2 wifi signals, one from your router and one from your WAP121. If you want to use it as a repeater, yes it can be used as a wifi repeater on a config like: Internet-cable-modem-cable-router))wifi))WAP121))morewifi))) but the performance is never as good as having it straight to a cable, I would recomend having 2 Wifi signals and use the best one on the area were you are at that time. This AP is exelent, it never "locks" or "freezes" and it has a VERY GOOD range- Hope this help :)

Do you mean Comcast modem? If so, I don't see why not. It should work with any type of modem wether it is a cable or DSL modem. The modem's job is to convert the incoming signal from analog to digital. The router routes the digital information (packets) to and from your devices.

Yes. If u have a wireless router thru a provider (Verizon,Comcast,cable vision) then I do not recommend this product.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

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

I have one of these in my home connected to a router that is connected to my cable modem. It works very well and was easy to setup.

This wireless router has Ethernet connections only, which means that you'd have to connect it to your cable/fiberoptic modem provided by Comcast. If you already have a modem with Ethernet output, then this should work just fine for you.

No. This is a router. The cable modem receives the data from your ISP " Internet Service Provider" & sends it to your router "Dir-665." Your router then connects via wi-fi or ethernet ports to your devises such as laptops, tablets, wi-fi enabled smart phones ect. and acts as a high speed traffic control center allowing all those devices to connect to the internet.

This does not work as a modem but will work with cable internet that has a modem to give you wifi

I do not know the answer to this, but most wireless devices will pick-up all wireless signals. I live in a condo and can see a dozen networks from neighbors on my laptop and I know all the routers are different. Also, I use wireless at three locations - two home and one business. My cable company just upgraded two of my modems and they have routers built in. If you have a problem you can see if your cable company will do that. Having the modem/router combo saved me lots of downtime at work.

This is not a WiFi router. This is a modem. You need this for high speed internet from the cable company. This basically receives the signal from the cable company and sends it to your WiFi router.

This device does not have xDSL modem, only Ethernet uplink, so it's a router only. It does have Advanced capabilities like USB port for network-shared disks, Media server, Torrent server, etc.

Yes. This router allows you to create a network of computers and share your existing iternet connection. However, it is not a substitute for your DSL or cable modem. It does work with it.

NO - It is simply a cable modem. (I used mine as a replacement for a TWC rental). Mine is hooked up to an ASUS wi-fi router.

Hi Anne, This is a Modem only. It has no inherent router/wireless capabilities. It has a port for the Coaxial cable and another port, Ethernet, to plug in the Cable from your router. Normally, your router will have a special ethernet port for the wire to the modem and 4 other ethernet ports.I have this modem for over a year now and it has been pretty reliable, only dropping the connection when Comcast burps.Good Luck Jim
