Yes you need a router to make your wifi equiment work. This modem is not wireless. You need to buy a router and connect it to this modem in order to have wireless (wifi)

wifi is built in, but you need to have the signal in your household...from a router

call comcast first. They are the worst internet provider but they are the only one that service my area. A couple months after I got this router, I lost connection to my house. Comcast had to come out and run a new line. So, I'm not sure if it was the router but my service is worse than before.

Yes, Router will be needed to connect wireless devices. Modem is a short of access point to access intrrnet from your service provider but using ethernet cable. You can buy separate router and create your own wireless network.

Hi Wilson! The wifi is built in on this machine. You wont need an additional device. Please remember to choose us as your seller. Thanks!

I use all of my own gear. I will not allow Comcast to put anything other than a cable TV box in my house. Comcast's device can be used by Comcast to provide public WiFi. You have to opt out if you don't want the device in your house to provide this service.

This device has a built in DSL modem and a router. It can be used with either Comcast or with most DSL providers. It is a very good modem/router combo. I have one at my cousin's restaurant and one at her house. I have not had a bit of trouble with either of them since they were installed, and customers hook up to the wi-fi easily.

I have a related but slightly different question. If I have Comcast and use this device as the transmitter (plugged into my router), can I use an old FiOS router in my living room as the receiver? Trying to determine if this would work so I can buy the single pack instead of the twin pack.

This modem doesn't do wifi. You need a wireless router for that. It does work for comcast though. I actually had to find a comcast employee to upgrade the software on this device through a comcast forum because my internet turned on and off every five minutes. It has not had a problem since I got that done. And works great.

Can you enter the required info and then use the router? I have not encountered this issue yet. The directions supplied with the device are of no help on this. Netgear Support should be able to answer this.

I believe you need three single port units in your case. 1) router, 2) PC, 3) Blu-ray. The kit you specify only comes with two units, so you'd need to purchase one extra. You could add more as you needs arise.

No this is not a router. The wifi is used to connect the computer to the internet wirelessly. Without the wifi built in you would need a wifi expansion card, those run around $50-100 for AC wireless (the newest/fastest). Basically this lets you connect to your routers wifi.

I have everything else on wi-fi with this router, I have it hooked up just as you said, and the rest of my equipment run on wi-fi...so the simple answer would be yes :)

I have Comcast, and I wanted to not rent a box. I had to buy a cable modem and a router to do that. You will need a cable modem.

You can connect as many devices as you have. The biggest question would be how many of those are using it at the same time. This is where the higher bandwidth (cable, fiber, etc..) handle it better. I personally have my Xbox, computer, Nook HD tablet, and three of our cell phones connected to this all the time and my speeds are wonderful. And I am only using the lower band. If the router is decently close to your devices make sure and connect them to the 5 Ghz band. .. you will notice the difference. All in all it has been the best router I have used yet for the money.

I can't say for sure. I checked Cox's site, and they list only a handful of devices, and DON'T list this particular one (Linksys DPC 3008-C) I bought, as an approved replacement (although, that doesn't mean it won't work!). Many cable (ISP) providers want you to either rent or purchase your equipment from them, so rarely do they include models that they DON'T sell themselves. My apologies for not having a more definitive answer, but I have Comcast....an entirely different animal altogether. As much as I hate to say it, you may have to call their tech services dept., wait on hold for an hour or two, before you can actually get an accurate answer.

Hi, this model is on the Comcast approved equipment list. I'm using Comcast too, but currently I'm experiencing difficult time with this setup. It is not consistent/reliable in the speed for some unknown reason. It can be very fast when it works properly but later the speed will drop almost to a halt. Very frustrating and have called Comcast multiple times, but as of today, the problem still exists.
