Hi Aaron. Yes, there are both ethernet and standard internet connections on the back if you need to use them. There is one ethernet and several standard connections available. I have this device and am extremely happy with it.

Yes the router has a dedicated port to connect to an internet modem. The port is highlighted in yellow and the router comes with an Ethernet cord.

Yes. The router connects to whatever modem you may have. This comes with an Ethernet cord in the box also.

Yes. I have my MacBookPro attached attached to the router via cable and the router attached to the Modem for internet service

Yes. You can hook up your cable connection to the modem and plug your router into an ethernet port and configure the wifi on your "better" unit by logging into the ip address of your "better" unit. You don't even need to log into the ip of the Arris if you are not going to use the wifi from it. I have done it this way many times in order to verify that another wifi unit was working properly. I hope this helps.

No, this is a cable modem - not a wireless router. the Ethernet cable goes into this and out from it directly to a computer or - preferably - to a wireless router to create a wireless network.

If you already have a modem (DSL, cable or otherwise) then the answer is no. Of course, I highly suggest that you also have a wireless router as well, especially if you wish to connect wirelessly. Alternatively, you could connect the cord (with RJ45 connector) from the modem directly to your laptop. While you would get on the Internet this way, I don't suggest it, as it offers no protection. Some modems from service providers do have routers built in; so, check with your service provider to see what you have. This laptop is a great value. Good luck!

No this router has standard ethernet jacks on the back Just Plug in the cable from your internet provider

Yes, you would also need the modem. The internet provider I am currently using provided the modem, but I needed to purchase the router - so it is not "all in one".

This is only a modem. If you need to connect to the internet over wifi, you need to connect the modem to a router that supports wifi.

Yes; it has a connection marked "modem" to run to your cable modem. You can then run an Ethernet cable to your computer if you desire a wired connection or simply use it wirelessly. I use it both ways. This is an excellent, easy to set up modem.

No, you have to connect it to a power strip. You also have to connect it to your computer via ethernet cord. You don't have to connect it to the router itself.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

If I'm reading your question correctly you need a wifi router or a hot spot piece. You can not cord connect it to the internet. Hope this helps.

If I understand the question, plug the router in to your modem (internet) port then use the free ports (4) on the router to plug in your computer(s) and other devices.

If you have the right router. I don't and need to return mine. Never used it. I have an other that connects by Ethernet cable that works fine.

Hi Andrew. If your modem has wireless capability, then you may let the wireless adapter ( Belkin N600) connect to its network wirelessly. No need for another router if you already have one.

Yes. You can connect this to your cable modem and use it as a wired router to distribute your internet connection throughout your home or business. The key word is "wired" as this does not have wireless capability. Connections will require ethernet cables.

I'm sorry but this is strictly a modem. I bought a wireless router to go with it. I mistakenly answered yes, so i you got a yes from me oops it's a NO. This is strictly a modem.

Yes, Router will be needed to connect wireless devices.Modem is a short of access point to access intrrnet from your service provider but using ethernet cable. You can buy separate router and create your own wireless network.
