I am installing a new internet connection at a shop. Is this router also a modem or do I have to buy a modem separately?

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!

I'm pretty sure that this is just a router, you'll need a modem separately. Unless you're with Xfinity, they'll provide a modem+router in one.

Not a modem, just a really good, easy to set up, router. I have had for 6 months, I love it, the range is great, I have it in the middle of the house, upstairs, the whole house is covered by my network and I can even connect to it halfway down my driveway! Its great, and the set up process was SO easy.

This MODEM acts as a network wireless router. As the others have said you MUST do the initial setup by connecting to your computer via an Ethernet cable. After that you can connect wirelessly. I decided to keep my Ethernet connection as it is faster and more reliable. There are three extra Ethernet ports to connect other computers or other Ethernet devices devices like my Blue Ray player streaming Net Flix and other web content.

this is a modem, no wireless, no DHCP, no routing.sounds like you will need a wireless router or just a router with separate wireless access point

Modem is required only if you're connecting to the internet. If you're connecting just to other computer(s), you don't need a modem. This router will connect to any network-ready wired ir wirwless device(s).

Yes, this is only a router. The order is: I.S.P. hookup to modem to router to devices.

It is a router only, not a router/modem combo. It will work behind a cable modem to provide wifi, but not in place of it.

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".

In short: NO. This is a DSL modem/router. DSL service comes through the phone line. If you have a cable hookup, you need a cable modem/router.

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.

It is a high speed router but it is not a cable or dsl modem. You should use this router along with your current modem.

This is not a modem, this is a router. You should get the difference clear and make sure you know what you need before you lay down any money.

no, its only a very good modem. Connect a router to it and you have your own wifi. I recommend having a stand alone modem and a stand alone router instead of a modem/router combined unit.

Yes you can buy a modem and a router. as far as features go for a modem and router now days you can find the modem and router all-in-one machine and depending on how many devices you think are going to be used simultaneously is going to determine what kind of router you're going to get if one or two devices will be being used probably just a base model will do the job anything more than that many devices I would recommend a high-performance router or the dual band router I have a high-performance router and I have several devices. I have a PC 3 Ipads and a ps3. Most of those devices are active all the time and I haven't had any issues as far as compatibility goes with your modem and router just about any router and modem will work You shouldn't have any issues it should plug right in but if it's an old modem and router they only issue your going to have is speed but if you're buying brand-new anything out there will work and you shouldn't have any issues as far as your cable signal goes whether it be a new modem and router or an old modem and router

If you were able to post your question, then you get internet. But if you want to buy this router, then you will need to have an internet provider to install the wire that connects to this router's WAN port (Wide Area Network, aka the internet).

Yes, this is a router and modem in one.With 4 ports on the back.I have T.W. cable, and had to register it with them.The one I purchased works great.

just install it like a modem and connect it to your router. You will need your modem password from your ISP company.

No; it is not a modem. It is only a dual-baud router, and not a very good router AT ALL. I highly recommend staying away from Cisco/Linksys dual-baud routers. I recommend ASUS routers. But to continue the answer to your question - It takes an ethernet cable from your DSL Modem as input and provides a dual-baud WiFi signal for wireless use; it also has ethernet out that you can connect your PC to or other wired devices
