It is just a modem with one Ethernet port to wire your PC directly to or a router.

Yes it is. I have Comcast. Comcast has a list of compatible modems on its site.

No it is a router. Some form of wifi or ethernet has to be available For it to do its job.

I have the same exact setup. The combo modem router isn't an issue. it's the speed of your DSL that is important. In my opinion 10mpbs/1mpbs is the minimum or you get dropped calls or breakup especially on the upload side which is slower.

No, modems and routers are two different devices. While Modems may provide some router capabilities, they are usually limited in the number of ports. Routers, such as this one, usually provide 5 ports, NAT to share your provider's IP address, and various and varied security options. You need to buy a top-tier DOCSIS 3 modem to pair with this router.

Yes. But why not connect your router to your modem, and the switch to the router?

I'm sorry but this is strictly a modem. I bought a wireless router to go with it. I mistakenly answered yes, so i you got a yes from me oops it's a NO. This is strictly a modem.

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.

Correct --- both a modem and router. Mine is still going strong, no problems whatsoever. Never had to reboot it for any reason.

No, it's just a router, not a modem. Depend on whether you want to have DSL (CenturyLink for example) or Cable (Cox etc), you will have to buy a DSL modem or a Cable modem. You can save some bucks buy a modem/router combo like Actiontec 300 Mbps Wireless-N ADSL Modem Router (GT784WN) (DSL) or NETGEAR N300 Wi-Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C3000) (Cable). Good luck!

Hi. This is a router only. Do you need a modem-router? Let us know and we will do our best to help.

I don't know why someone wrote it's only a router because it's both. All I have is this one box and so many wifi devices connected to it. iPhones, roku player, amazon fire tv's, laptops, wifi printer, and an apple tv. Oh and Dlink wifi cameras too. I love modems with built in routers. I never had to use a modem and a router separately before. Wouldn't even know how to hook the two up. I guess I'll watch a YouTube video just so I could have a clue. But yes this one box is all you'll need. My internet provider is Comcast.

No, this is just a cable modem. It only has a ethernet port and a usb port.
