Thank you for your email. This computer has LAN and wireless adapter. It could connect to LAN or wireless network. It has a RJ-45 phone jack and could connect to modem using ethernet cable. Have a nice weekend.

You can use the modem as a cable modem only but I know of no way you can turn the Wi Fi off. You can use only the cable modem and not have a device connected to the WiFi. I have no idea if you can run another router off this modem. Why would you want to? This is a relatively expensive device and it is expensive because it is both a modem and a router. You would be much better off financially to buy a less expensive modem that is only a modem and buy the router and you would end up with only what you need and there would me no compatibility problems.

this unit has a built in wireless modem...so you should be able to connect to any wireless network. It also has an Ethernet connection. So you have two ways to connect to the internet with this machine.

Yes. You will need to configure the Vera3 to use WiFi. I actually did this when moving and waiting for internet service.

I do not have a definitive answer but I believe you can use the modem without using the router. You can turn off the router's broadcasting ability and send the signals via cables to a router.

As far as I know, neither. It is WiFi only. Another model might have that capability.

I actually don't know how Comcast Wifi internet works. I think this modem only connects through Comcast cable. You will need another router to have wireless signals.

Yes you can use wifi but my computer stopped working after 5 months and it's unfixable

Yes, the owner's manual says you can connect to an available network using your standard router and modem.

No, this only allows you to receive the WiFi signal from a wireless router.

Yes you can. Although I tired the wireless set-up, it is easy to use this as a modem only. Simply enter enter the modem, and there are admin features including turning off the wifi output. I have never had an issue doing this and I have a separate router for wifi.

Yes the only way. I assume because this product does not come with built in wi-fi.

No, you can use it with a cord. If you want to be wireless like with a laptop in another room yes, then you need wifi internet.

The one I purchased for my sister did have a modem, but with WiFi, she isn't using it since her internet connection is via her cable modem and WiFi router. (I can't imagine it wouldn't have one since most of these computers are returns from business leases) If you are still concerned, I recommend you call the seller and ask to be sure. PS, you might also ask if they will include the Windows re-install disc so if the hard drive dies, you will be able to re-install Windows without having to lay out the cash to buy it. Mine did not come with the disc, but they sent it upon request. It likely will NOT have MS Office or other software with it - just windows XP. Good luck!

no it is WiFi only. I t has a good WiFi connector on it though. If you have a public network that you can access you will have no problem surfing the web.

A wireless modem, basically has a wireless router built in so there isn't a need for a seperate wireless router to have Wi-Fi. I don't see why you couldn't use this with your wireless modem. You basically turn your wireless modem into a regular modem by disabling the Wi-Fi and enable it on the Netgear Router. I use a comcast modem (not wireless) with this router - works fine.
