This is just a modem. You will need a router to distribute wifi around your place.

Not sure if i understand the question. this is just a modem, its doesn't integrate wireless so you'll need seperate device for wireless. Unless your talking about packet loss over a long cat5 cable. it seems to work fine for running cables, but i'm not sure how you measure that.

Range to what? Since it is a cable modem and not a router, it has a physical link to both the cable coming into your house and the pc. Range is irrelevant.

It is a DSL modem that is wireless. It is not compatable with cable. If your internet provider is DSL, you should verify with them that this particuar modem will work for you.

Mac Coder is correct, if the modem needs 12Vdc at less than 1A and accepts a 5.5mm center hot connector, then this will work. As they said, Frontier is an ISP and not a modem. A model number is necessary for an accurate response.

I would stay away from this one. I found with Windows 7, that you have to unplug and replug this one in to get it to work again. I believe it could be with the right software, but it is very unreliable, unsupported, and doesn't work most of the time. I recommend find a different modem.

Just remember POE over long distances will be a problem.... its not solid copper... that's why its cheaper....its great for data only up to 600 feet +

this is NOT a cable compatible modem. This modem is for DSL connection use only. You need to continue to search for a Cable Compatible modem... it should have a spot in the back for you to screw in your com cast cable line. Possibly refer to Comcast customer support for an updated list of compatible modems. I'd hate to spend the money and it doesn't do what you need.

These are good products however, a lot of the "range" id dependent upon the type equipment that you have i.e., language being utilized and whether its laptop and/or desktop. Especially important will be be type input Modem being utilized at your home for outward dissemination. It all adds into the equation. I have personally used these years ago for equipment in my home (large area home) and with a laptop at the end of the house; it worked satisfactorily. I would highly - very highly - recommend that you contact your local provider and inqjuire with them as to the range requirements for their channel input/output regarding the usage of the Netgear PL AV200. We were fortunate in that our Provider happens to be Bright House, one of the best in the industry if not the best - for full range of connection. Their input modem (located in our home) is the Ubee with wide-area coverage and no additional expander/boosters are necessary. Again, check with you local Provider and they should be able to provide you with the exact parameters you need to follow i.e., distance from their input modem, etc..... Sorry, but equipment these days is relevant to Provider-provided Modem equipment; thats the main goodie in it all........... Good luck...... Skip

Yes absolutely it will work, there are other routers that do have longer range however

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

Yes...we have a Westell wireless modem and it works great. We even put a range extender in another part of the house and that works fine as well.

I don't know. For me, going longer distances I've used Ethernet and other methods achieving pretty functional and reliable results for extreme distances (e.g., windows remote - a free tool with windows (PC). Good luck,

If you can dial the number with your telephone, this modem should dial the long distance fine. Please be aware because of differences in Telephone companies, sometimes there are issues because of 56KB or 64kb channels on the call you make. Not seen much lately but is still out there especially with international calls.

Hi, I looked up the specs on the modem and it should work as it supports DSL/VDSL modems.

I bought the Arris TM802G from Amazon because Comcast said I had to have a Doc Sis 3.0 telephony modem. Comcast said they weren't able to support this modem. I told Comcast that I was using it just for phone and cable and they were able to install it over the phone. It should work for Internet as well.

depending on what your set up is. like my house has a adsl2+ cable, so any modem that was compatible with that cable would work. you would have to call century link and find out what type of cable you have in your house.

I bought one of these awhile ago. Unfortunately, this type of modem is intended for OLDER or pre-win7 systems. If you are looking for a 56K modem, try a PCI-Express,or just a PCI modem.

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.
