Do I need to buy a modem with this router?

Yes. You should also contact your internet provider for a list of approved modems, as many will limit the modems you can use. You'll also want to make sure that the modem you purchase can transfer the data speeds you pay for.

Yes, it will work. However, you may not be able to maximize the performance of your modem. It would be better to get a newer router.

If you have to ask this question, you'd be better off renting a router/modem combo from your ISP. It is a router, and creates a wireless signal that can be picked up by any network card that supports any 802.11 specification, regardless of what operating system you are using.

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.

It is NOT a modem, it is a wireless router. Modems are usually different, and I always suggest people get a SEPARATE modem for whatever technology they're using (DSL, Cable, WISP, Cell Data card, etc). This will work with any modem using ethernet connections.

No, there is no modem. It is a wired/wireless router. You would need to rent/purchase a modem. If you intend on purchasing a modem be certain to check with your ISP regarding an specifications that are required for their service.

Yes it is, no need for both modem and router. A free outlet and more space on top your your desk!

This item is just a router. You will still need a modem to bring internet into the house.

What I would recommend is to plug your modem into a router that has at least WPA2 security options then plug the TP-Link to the router. Why you may ask? You should never connect your computer through the modem without a router, its like going to war without weapons. By having the modem connected to a router then the tp-link you have a line of defense for internet threats. If you do not already have a router, please do yourself a favor and buy one, it will save you in the longrun they are currently fairly cheap.

Yes you do. I am not tech savvy, but there is a yellow cord from the unit to our wireless router. The two other lines connected to the modem are the power and the phone. This is the same unit that Centurylink used many years ago. Just make sure that it is compatible with whatever phone service you have.

No you need the modem that Comcast provides, it's a lot bigger with a different config. This one quit after a couple of months use and they would not refund my money just offered another junk one like it.

No, it's just a router, not a modem. Depend on whether you want to have DSL (CenturyLink for example) or Cable (Cox etc), you will have to buy a DSL modem or a Cable modem. You can save some bucks buy a modem/router combo like Actiontec 300 Mbps Wireless-N ADSL Modem Router (GT784WN) (DSL) or NETGEAR N300 Wi-Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C3000) (Cable). Good luck!

This is a cable modem, you still need a router with WIFI. Look for one with b/g/n capabilities.

If your question refers to Wi-Fi, the answer is NO! This modem is not Wi-Fi ready. YOU will need a router connected to the modem to access a wireless Wi-Fi connection.

Ok any router works with any service as long as the modem is connected. you need to hook the router up once to a computer to set it up and put your own security key in. after that go on your wireless devices and put the same key in you created and you are up and running. you really dont need the computer at all for anything unless something goes wrong. i am about to get this router sometime soon after i get comcast. i got windstream :( yes very very sad... i hope some of my knowledge helped you out
