Is there an advantage to running a cable internet connection through the coaxial connectors on this device before plugging it in to a cable modem?

Absolutely, there can be electrical spikes riding cable signal. While cable cos. filter as much as possible, you have the advantage of added protection. By the way, my upstairs neighbor had a lightning strike hit just their line!

Computers work off of minor electric variances. If you havea power storm or something of that nature it could damage your modem or worse make it into your computer.that is why it is always best to run power lines and coaxial through surge procters.

For true surge protection you will want to run the coax through the surge protector.

The does not have a coax input. So, if Comcast uses cable connections (rather than phone line hookups), I don't think this will work. I used it with AT&T; DSL, because they provide their signal (in the house) via phone lines and/or ethernet cables. Hope that helps. :)

Probably -- there's a little bit of lag induced in the conversion from ethernet to coax.

Yes, there are coax connections, this is from the manual: Surge Protected COAX/RF Connectors The H10 provides surge protection for your CATV system, Cable Modem, DSS, or Antenna system. The surge protection feature prevents surges traveling over Coaxial data lines from damaging the system. Connect the coaxial cable from the CATV or Cable Modem provider to the connector marked "IN." Connect other cable from the connector marked "OUT" to the device being protected (CATV box or Cable Modem).

Yes. I have this modem and I have cable internet (SuddenLink). It uses the coaxial cable to get service.

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

It's been a while since I had that device, and I never tried connecting via cable. However, as far as I know, a wired connection is better than a wireless connection in any circumstance with current day technology.

No. This coax connection is much larger than the single prong coax and has multiple prongs.

Yes, there is a coaxial connection for cable (as well as many other connection options).

In my particular case, the coax cable runs from the wall to my ARRIS modem; from there, the internet signal is carried by a network cable running from the modem to a Belkin wireless router; which is, in turn, connected to my desktop via the same type of network cable. I needed the wireless router primarily for my laptop, but my smartphone and other devices also use it. I typically use both the desktop and my laptop to work online, without issue.

You can, although during at home testing, the cable company has shown me errors that come up due to signal loss by going through a surge protector's coax in/out.

You should be able to use the modem regardless of what level of cable TV service. Internet service is separate.

I would expect it too. It did a great job boosting both my cable tv and internet signals. I couldn't get HD channels on my bedroom TV before hooking up this booster, and I was dropping internet all the time until I installed this unit. No problems since!

It's a router, not a modem. The modem is what connects to your coaxial cable coming from the provider. The modem then has another slot for an Ethernet cable that goes on to your router. The modem is also what you're probably thinking of. All routers work with all cable providers because they're only meant to relay the service signal your modem is receiving. Look up the difference between a modem and a router if you want to learn more.

No. It will not improve the signal by itself. This device only "piggybacks" DC voltage on the coaxial cable to power a remote amplifier.

In my set up, yes. If you are connecting straight from the cable modem, I don't think so. A cable modem is most likely only going to give out one IP address. However, I have a wireless router connected to the cable modem, so the router handles IP address assignment. I then have a 100' ethernet cable running form the router to this switch. I can have up to four devices connected to the switch at the same time and all will have internet access. Right now I have two connected.Hope that helps to clarify.

This device allows the use of ip over coaxial cable thus you can connect an ethernet switch to this device on one end and directly to your router at the other end and have the router supply DHCP control over the ethernet awitch ports.
