Does this modem work only with Fiber optics from the street?

This modem has nothing to do with fiberoptics. It's some kind of advanced ADSL (like ADSL2+ or something like this) so it works with old fashioned ADSL cable (phone jack).

I couldn't get it to work with a modem, something about the frequency difference, but I haven't tried it with a fax so I don't know for sure.

Not this model. They do however make one that is for outdoor use.....http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/view/network-cameras/dcs-2310l-outdoor-hd-poe-day-night-cloud-camera

The modem will for internet but it won't work for phone service. You must buy through comcast for that to work. I did not realize this when I bought it. If you need for phone service suggest you return and buy for comcast

You do have to call them. They will need to add the address of the modem so it will work properly.

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.

Yes, as long as the modem is for Clear internet only and not a third party like Netzero.

No, it doesn't. However, it works well with TWC Internet and the VOIP phone service that I have with Vonage. I have an old Motorola router, Vonage equipment and this modem connected.

I have used one, and it does NOT announce streets by name. The description is quite wrong.

I have one that does not work either. My home is in East Wakefield NH where there are limited towers, but I thought the internet and satellite would work around that. It didn't. I even received a replacement unit to see if it made any difference, It didn't. The extender does work fine in FL, where I spend 7 of 12 months, so I guess it is worth it in the long run.

yes works great when used as a directional access point across distance. I have it hooked to a standard provider cable box (fiber optic line).

Note that if you use it with a fiber provider (e.g., FiOS) then this is not an issue since there is no RF leakage to the street in any case (the outside signal terminates at the telco's ONT; between the ONT and the telco's headend there is a completely different type of signal - optical based or short haul VDSL).

No, it does not. And very good question. I bought this based on it's name, in order to replace my comcast telephony modem, and it is NOT useful for that. I returned it to Amazon for that exact reason.

Yes it does, but I have had a problem with the wifi. All my other devices receive my wifi just fine, but this wont receive it if its 15 feet away from the modem.

No, it's a DSL modem. You will need a CABLE modem to work with a cable supplier of Internet Services.

You are correct. The exception is if your router has an HPNA coax connection. Many ATT Uverse modem/routers have this built in.

This is not a modem that connects to a telephone line. It is a cable modem only.
