Will this work as Modem & Router? With Comcast they told me it needed to be DOCIS 3, will this router have that?

No, this does not include a modem. Motorola makes a nice DOCIS3 modem and sold by Amazon

The Netgear Nighthawk is a wifi router and not a modem. I have comcast and they sent me a Aris Docsis 3.0 cable modem. I connect my Netgear Nighthawk to my cable modem and it is fantastic and gives me high speed wireless.

My last response was not complete. It does work with Comcast, but it does need a modem also. D

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

If you have high speed internet and phone through Comcast, then this type of modem router (DOCSIS 3.0 with wireless N and phone jack) could be what you're looking for. The brand though, it depends on if Comcast supports Ubee. Some areas I've heard they do, you should double check on their website.

Yes, absolutely.. although you should probably disable the Comcast wireless feature and hard-wire the modem to the router for best throughput. You might want to consider returning it to Comcast, though, and just invest in a new cable modem that's optimized for the AC features (DOCSIS 3.0).. unless the Comcast modem is already DOCSIS 3.0 capable. Note that DOCSIS 3.1 is due out in 2014, but I doubt you would want to wait that long.

I'm not sure of that. My service is 15 mbps and it does just fine. My service provider is Time Warner and the RCA DCM425 was the modem they supplied, but you might contact your service provider and ask, or go to their website and check. Provider's websites will usually show which devices work with their system. That modem is a DOCSIS 2 and 50mbps may very well require a DOCSIS 3 modem.

You should double check with Comcast to ensure that you can use this product with your specific plan, but in general, yes! -- this router is designed to replace an existing cable modem or cable modem/router combination.

This is not DOCSIS 3. Comcast says it will work, but only for a period of weeks or months. I have to send it back based on this...

If Comcast uses cable signal (with a coax connection), then no. This is for DSL; so it needs a landline-type connection - though you don't usually need a landline account. We used it with AT&T; dsl. And yes, it is a modem and router all in one. Takes in the signal and pushes it out too. :-)

This is a router only. Depending on your type of internet service (e.g. cable, DSL, etc) you will need some type of "modem". Some manufacturers build cable modems and DSL modems with routers built in. If you need both, then it would be more economical to purchase a modem/router combination.

Yeah! It will work with most routers especially Comcast. I have Charter & it worked just fine.

It's working with Comcast for me at this moment, has been for two months now. Comcast does have a new speed standard, called DOCSIS 3.0, and this router is DOCSIS 2.0. Regarding this Comcast says, "...DOCSIS 2.0 modems will still work with our speed tiers (except for Blast! and Extreme 50), but you won't experience the blistering fast speeds now available." However, "blistering fast speed" is more in the mind of the marketing department than in reality. Once you have around 5megs of download speed (Comcast provides more than that) "blistering" becomes unnoticeable. Still, if you have Blast! or Extreme 50, apparently this modem won't do the job.

Hi Scott, for this case, if you only need a modem, we'd recommend the CMD31T: NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 - High Speed Cable Modem (CMD31T)

I ditched the router rental from my Internet/TV/Phone provider which was $10/month. I'm no expert, but routers are routers and if your Comcast router connects through a CAT5/RJ40 connector it should work. I have no experience with anything Comcast except: I went from Comcast to another provider due to poor service. I called & emailed my ISP and told them I wanted to save some money. They provided me with instructions on where to return to return my old router and save $$$. I configured the router after downloading/reading the user manual.

Yes, this device works is compatible with ANY DOCSIS certified cable ISP. The modem is DOCSIS 3.0 certified, which means it should work with any ISP that supports DOCSIS 3.0 or below. Simply contact your ISP to verify that this particular modem is supported. The "Comcast Only" excerpt was a typo from the old Linksys documentation where Linksys said itself, Linksys, guaranteed that it worked with Comcast. Since then, Cisco bought out Linksys and now produces this unit. Unfortunately, no one has corrected the error.

Not true. Comcast installed mine. It was a replacement for one of theirs. I ordered the exact modem that Comcast had sipplied.

You should be able to go on Comcast's website and imput what type of internet package you have and they list all the modems that are compatible....that's how I came across this modem....there's many choices ..

You will still need a cable modem. This is only the router part. That would be the same also for the airport express. That said, you can purchase a modem in addition to the router so you don't have to rent one from Comcast anymore. I suggest a Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem. Great investment.
