By plugging my Comcast cable into the back of Surfboard does that also send the internet signal back out over the same cable, there is no in or out?

Yes, It just has the one broad band cable connection on the back. This modem has one of the best wireless buffering systems I have ever seen. I have mine connected by cat5 cable to a Ooma as well as to my main computer. You can use any computer and be on the phone at the same time with no problems. That does have some to do with your internet speed also, we are using ours with basic 50 meg cable with good results.

If you're talking about MoCA you'll need a seperate adapter for that to convert the coax to Ethernet and then you'll have to go into the settings on the 6782 to configure it.

Yes it is a single connection. Once connected you have to call your cable company so they can register and activate it.

The cable from Comcast goes in, and then the output is Ethernet network. So one cable output in your home becomes Internet, not all of them. the modem/router (this serves as both) has wifi for your other devices.

Not sure what exactly you asking but as far as I know modern is communicating with "mothership " but you should not be effected by this. Your speed should be what you paying for.

It depends on your cable modem provider. At least here at Costa Rica, they force you to use a Motorola Surfboard (most of the cable providers here are using coaxial cables), so I have my X2000 as mere ethernet router

Mine does. I love it. I did have to buy an internet adapter (probably not the right term) but I guess it just made the signal stronger from my internet.

Hello, I believe you mean coax cable compatible? If you are talking about regular cable outlet cable (like Comcast or similar) yes, it is compatible with that. The only way, this modem can get internet signal is through the coax cable from the wall. I hope this answers your question.

You have to get an ethernet adapter and plug it to the modem on the back of your internet connection.

Hey Sean, this does work with Comcast but this is not a modem/router combo. It's just a router so you'd still need your original modem in place. Hope this helps.

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.

No it does not because this is a adsl modem/router. The internet connection comes from the phone jack not the coaxial cable connection. TWC I believe only delivers internet via the coaxial connection. I might be wrong but all of the connections I had with TWC has been through the cable tv connection.

Yes, it is. I have comcast as my internet provider. The Motorola Surfboard works perfectly fine.

Comcast connects via the phone lines, and I found out the hard way that this modem does not have a port in the back to connect a phone line... I got a netgear modem and netgear router for wifi... They work great!

CORRECTION- Yes, it broadcasts the wifi signal sent by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as Comcast. Sorry, I mixed up my acronyms.

It is an interesting question that people ignore. The output you get on the screen in totally dependant on what the quality of the signal is going in. In the computer world there is a term, "garbage in garbage out." Consumer guide used to specifically test how TV's interacted with a cable input. I do not see that they still evaluate this signal input issue. The reality is that all signals are far from equal. I have Cablevision in NYC and find the signal abysmal. I am in a apartment building where the signal is being split 90 times and it is obvious the signal is extremely devalued. My brother in NJ gets Comcast directly into his home and his 1080P picture is the best I have ever seen. In general there are two issues which you may not be able to control, the inate abiltiy of the specific TV to process a cable input and the quality of the signal. I hope this has helped. It is my understanding that satellite and Fios are by far the highest quality signal. Cable is a crapshoot.

I would tell you but it seems like a waste of time when you already know what to do. Sorry just giving you a hard time. I actually didn't do it. Comcast came by on a service call and installed it without me asking them. Would have been ok if they had done what i actually asked them.

I can't say specifically about TWC, but i have it hooked up to a Surfboard6141 (comcast) with no issues.
2199369
Yes, but I also have cable going on those lines as well. Will the deca internet signal still go through the cable lines with active cable television subscription?

I see a port in the back that says LAN & I connect via wifi which is actually a pretty strong connection. Hasn't dropped signal at all. Except if comcast is down.

Its just a modem - you'll have to get a separate router. Unlike what comcast provides which is a dual purpose modem/router.
