You don't need this modem then. You need a wireless router or a wired router, whichever you prefer.

This does not have a built in modem, the only advice I can give you for finding a built in Modem/Router is to look for a Router built for Gaming, they are always the best as online gaming requires large amounts of data flow, out and in. Myself personally, I would never combine the two. Reason, because if one goes out, they both go out. At least if the router quits working you can still Ethernet into the modem and get online.

Plug your internet supply into the first port. It might not matter which port, but since that is typical that is what I did. I have two of these working well at my house.

Yes, you'll need an existing Internet "wired" connection., this is a router

Its just a modem - you'll have to get a separate router. Unlike what comcast provides which is a dual purpose modem/router.

No. This is a modem with one ethernet cable output. You will need a separate wireless router if you want to share internet connection with other devices.

Depends on the size of the modem. This is a "custom" design computer and it's really small. There is no room for buying a modem unless you find one really narrow. There are only two ports. One for graphics and one for anything else that could fit. I have a Wifi card. There's an ethernet port. This design is kinda like a laptop.

A modem connects your network to your cable; an access point allows connections to your network. If you want to connect your computer to the internet, then you need a modem. If you want your wireless devices to connect to the internet, then you need a wireless access point AND a modem.My configuration has a cable modem (supplied by Comcast), followed by a router (so I can have more than 1 connection to the internet), followed by a wireless access point (so my wireless devices can connect.)

Hi Andrew. If your modem has wireless capability, then you may let the wireless adapter ( Belkin N600) connect to its network wirelessly. No need for another router if you already have one.

i have my internet provider's modem, can i replace it with this so i could have wifi?

No. This modem has (1) Ethernet port. If you wish to connect an additional device to it, you must use a switch or router to add additional Ethernet ports.

Hi. If your referring to the ethernet port, the answer would be 1. David Ray is right, you can only hook one router to the modem.

Yes, All in one, works Greats too, just be sure to call your internet provider(tech support) to make sure it's compatible with them.

Yes. All you need to do is connect the plug link into one off the ethernet ports and simply connect the other plug link from the wall to the computer you are trying too get internet service on. I used this for 9 months for bringing internet to my garage and i never had any problems.

Yes, you'll need two of them. If you have a coax network in your house (i.e. a bunch of splits and runs to other rooms), you just put one on your modem and one in each room you need one in.

You would need to connect the modem to a telephone line. So telephone service would be necessary.

Yep. Should be able to just plug in the Ethernet cable from the modem to the router and it should be good to go. Make sure you set it up after you get it online. This will save you time down the road if the router decides to activate the wireless dampener. From the first update: After installing this router, my download speed (wireless) went from 15mb/s to 0.5mb/s. After some googling, I found that this router ships with a setting that is enabled, which destroys download speed. After correcting this, download speed increased to 25mb/s. That's why there are so many refurbished units available for purchase. Anyway, do this: 1. Login to your router. If you've never done this, look for instructions that came with your router or do a google search to find the default username and password. 2. Find a page that has QoS settings. For the E1200, you need to click on "Applications & Gaming" and select the "QoS" sub-menu. 3. Disable WMM Support. 4. Click save.
