Does this require a modem? Sorry, I am not a techy at all ;/. I currently am renting one for my old computer.

If you already have a modem (DSL, cable or otherwise) then the answer is no. Of course, I highly suggest that you also have a wireless router as well, especially if you wish to connect wirelessly. Alternatively, you could connect the cord (with RJ45 connector) from the modem directly to your laptop. While you would get on the Internet this way, I don't suggest it, as it offers no protection. Some modems from service providers do have routers built in; so, check with your service provider to see what you have. This laptop is a great value. Good luck!

Robert: I would call the company and ask. That is what I did before I purchased it. It is compatible with lots of USB Modems.

Hi Scott, for this case, if you only need a modem, we'd recommend the CMD31T: NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 - High Speed Cable Modem (CMD31T)

No this was a replacement for a modem on comcast. I had been renting with them for a long time at $7.00 a month. They gave me a hard time to get it installed, but once installed, it works great. It is the same brand and unit that I was renting from them.

I have no answer, not tech. savy. I only purchased the modem, nothing else, and my Netgear unit does work just fine.

Modem is required only if you're connecting to the internet. If you're connecting just to other computer(s), you don't need a modem. This router will connect to any network-ready wired ir wirwless device(s).

That would depend, if you currently have a rented modem with a built in router you will need a router as well. This is only a modem that will only allow one computer to connect at a time. A router allows multiple computers to share your modem.

As long as you have a valid IP address, it should work fine. I am not sure about your particular modem, and if it uses DHCP or not.

I have only used it to create a WiFi signal from an incoming internet line. I have no idea if it would work with a modem. Sorry .......

Should be fine. This is a router not a modem. Routers don't care. Modems do. ;)

No you need the modem that Comcast provides, it's a lot bigger with a different config. This one quit after a couple of months use and they would not refund my money just offered another junk one like it.

I would stay away from this one. I found with Windows 7, that you have to unplug and replug this one in to get it to work again. I believe it could be with the right software, but it is very unreliable, unsupported, and doesn't work most of the time. I recommend find a different modem.

No, this does not include a modem. Motorola makes a nice DOCIS3 modem and sold by Amazon

It must have internet access to a modem via a router or switch. I have mine connected to a switch which is connected to a router which in turn is connected to the modem.
