Can I use this as a modem only and have a separate router?

Hi Scott, for this case, if you only need a modem, we'd recommend the CMD31T: NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 - High Speed Cable Modem (CMD31T)

In short, yes -- it takes a bit of configuration, but you can configure the CG3000 to go into bridge mode and then connect a router to one of the RJ45 jacks on the back.

Yes you can. Although I tired the wireless set-up, it is easy to use this as a modem only. Simply enter enter the modem, and there are admin features including turning off the wifi output. I have never had an issue doing this and I have a separate router for wifi.

I do not have a definitive answer but I believe you can use the modem without using the router. You can turn off the router's broadcasting ability and send the signals via cables to a router.

No This is only a router, use the modem that the service provides. Most combination units fall short and are expensive.

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!

Yes you can. That is exactly what I needed to do. I went from the modem to the switch. And then from the switch to two different routers.

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

Usually a modem only has one port (in fact I don't know of any variance on that except for combination router/models) and that is where your router goes, everything else goes into the router.

Hi. If your referring to the ethernet port, the answer would be 1. David Ray is right, you can only hook one router to the modem.

No, you cannot use this as a router. as all have said below. it is mainly used, as others have stated, to increase how many devices you can plug into your intranet and internet.

Yes you can, but this is essentially a router. So you could plug your cable modem directly into this Netgear.

Not directly. If you are planning to use a VOIP provider for your phone service you will need a router from the phone service provider. There is not phone connection on this modem.

You cannot use this directly between your modem and your other devices (guessing that is how you hooked it up) you must use a router in between so it would be Modem -> Router -> Switch. Hooked together in that order.

Hi , it is to be used with a wireless router not a modem. . Also , it screws onto the antenna port of a router so without one, it will not work... The answer to your question is no..

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.

No. This is a modem with one ethernet cable output. You will need a separate wireless router if you want to share internet connection with other devices.

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.

This is a stand alone all in one DSL router / modem that I use with AT & T DSL.

Hi Ken - Yes! It is COMBINED modem and wireless router which replaces two (2) pieces of equipment. HOWEVER... The damned thing DIED last week! I replaced it with an ATT supplied DSL Modem/Router (NetGear 7550). Setup was a breeze and if needed, there is STATE SIDE support. Stick with an ATT supplied modem/router!
