Can I buy this item, plug it into my computer, place it near a window and finally get rid of Time Warner Cable internet service?

I suppose if you found a wireless access point and they gave you permission to connect and/or if you knew the password OR it was completely unsecured.

Yes, it does a good job at amplifying distant wireless signals, allowing you to connect to that wireless signal (if it's not secure or you know the password). I'm pleased with the performance of my Yagi. I used it to live stream high school football games. A nearby motel gave me permission to use their wireless service. Motel was about 750 ft from my location. I also used a Dish receiver to attach the Yagi antenna to. The Dish receiver greater improved the strength of the wireless signal!

I'm sorry. I did buy one but it was not compatable with Time Warner, so I had to return it.

I don't think so. I can can assume that this box is only for internet. I use it for Time Warner Internet.

I have no idea. I sold the one I had because Time Warner wouldn't let me use it.

You don't if your shielded cable is coaxial. The device is an Ethernet router. It operates wirelessly and using CAT 5 or CAT 6 Ethernet cable. Coax cable in your wall is likely your Internet service, and if it is you need a modem.

No it's not. This was a model sold wholesale to Time Warner Cable and while it might sorta work on Comcast, it's not compatible with their "Blast!" service so you'd top out at able 6 MbsI got this a few weeks ago to use with Comcast and it was a disaster. Ended up with a Netgear N600 instead.

I am not familiar with Time Warner. Based on my previous experiences I would say yes BUT I would encourage you to see if any others have had success utilizing this modem instead of the issued TWM. If it does, or does not work, please add your results to this thread. It would be appreciated. Best of luck my friend.

It's a gateway. Big difference. Meaning it can do whatever you want it to. I'm asking them for a firmware upgrade so that I can bypass Time Warner for the phone provisioning. Time Warner is dragging their feet because they don't know how I got it to work. If you have Comcast then none of that matters.

Yes, you are right! You dont need two devices. This works great on Time Warner Cable.

Yes. That is exactly what I use it for. It was easy to set up. Just call Comcast as soon as you get it. Works great.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that is true about it being too old, but I can tell you that mine was working with Time Warner Cable for about four months....then it died. I had to go back to renting one again. My great experiment did not work out for me. Good luck if you give it a try.

Time Warner Cable just told me to use the phone service you have to also get a splitter (said you can pick one up for free at any TWC office). I haven't done it yet, but that's what the Customer Service just told me.

This modem was not intended for personal use. It was created for ISP use only, which is why some people may experience wireless incompatibility.If you purchase this modem to use as a customer owned modem on Time Warner Cable's service, it is very unlikely that WiFi will work, especially if you live in Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, or South Carolina.In short, internet should function fine, but I would not purchase this expecting wireless service on Time Warner's network.

I purchased this device for use with Time Warner (WI) but they could NOT get it to work and put in one of their devices.

It is but time warner will only allow you to use the wireless. They will not allow the use of the phone part of modem. So I wasted my money buying this modem.
