Are you hooking up to DSL or Cable? Do you have a modem from your provider for your service? If you already have a modem, then all you need is the router that you purchased, plugged into the network jack on that modem. If you do not have a modem, you need to either contact your provider and find out what modems they recommend. In this case, you have the choice of renting a modem from your provider, or purchasing one of the modems that is on the list of their supported devices. The Motorola 2247-N8 Wireless DSL Modem works with my AT&T service and acts as BOTH the Modem and the Router. With this device, your Netgear wireless router becomes redundant and unnecessary. I hope that this has answered your question about your need of a modem. Simply, if you do not have a modem, you need one. Check with your service provider for a list of supported devices, or to rent one of theirs.

No, that model is both a wireless router and a modem in one. Nicer than having two boxes to deal with. All the instructions you need are on line at the Motorola web site and they have a help desk too.

You need a modem to feed into the router. Then your computer and game systems are wired to the router.

this is a modem, no wireless, no DHCP, no routing.sounds like you will need a wireless router or just a router with separate wireless access point

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

You will have to hook-up to ethernet for a short while and download the correct drivers from the internet instead of from the CD. Here is a link (copy and paste it):http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17744/~/wna1100-release-software---version-1.1.3.26

You still need an ISP and a router foe wireless connection to NETGEAR WG111US Wireless G Usb Adapter

This not a modem this is an AP. But what you are intending would work if you connect this to your modem through a LAN cable and use the wireless SSID from netgear. I believe that you will still have to use your modem and are talking about the "weak" wireless connection through your modem. So in this case your modem is acting as modem + wireless router. Also check other high strength routers or may be amplifiers if you just want that. There should be a comparison for strengths of routers somewhere. I use this in my apt so cannot comment on the range.

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

I don't know, Netgear should be able to answer your questions. Do a search on-line for their number and call them.

You will need the router for wifi. I hardwired my computer as I don't need wireless in my second building.

Any router compatible with 802.11 g will work. This router is compatible with 802.11 g. 802.11 g is just a compatibility standard meant to make it easy for you to pick items that work together.

A modem connects your computer, via a wire (ergo, "wired" connectivity) to the physical line that was provided to you by your telephone company or ISP in order to reach the internet. You need a router to connect more than one computer to the internet through the modem. There are wireless routers that have both wired ports and, of course, the wireless access but if you already have a wired router-based network at home, you can use the WAP54G or any other wireless access point device to connect those additional computers that have a wireless capability through the existing wired router. Otherwise, you buy a wireless router (which acts as an access point) to replace the existing wired router. A pure access point device needs a router to function with multiple wireless devices.

What you have to do is to call your Internet provider, if the Netgear is compatible to its service. As for me i called AT&T.;

Sure, The easiest is adding a USB based adapter like the NetGear N150. No fuss.

Yes you will also need a wireless router that connects to this modem and pushes out your wireless internet signal.

This was an upgrade for me from an earlier Netgear unit. I was advised that I needed a new router by satellite internet provider I was using. This provided good service, but I now have dropped the satellite company and have retired my WNDR3400 N600 unit. Sorry that I can't offer more help than this.

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".
