Does this work for internet and the phone service. is this model EMTA? I'm trying to replace the $8/month modem from comcast and need it to work for cable, internet and phone service? Will this work for all 3?

It will work for Internet and Telephone. It will not work for Cable TV. You need a separate cable box for the TV, but this does all the rest. The modem in the Arris TM802G is a DOCSIS 3.0 and works great. I don't have Comcast, and I don't know if they will authorize the telephone portion of the modem, but there should be no problem with using it as an internet modem. Time-Warner who I have authorized the modem, but refused to authorize the telephone in this modem, so I disconnected it and now use a Zoom modem. I also no longer have their telephone, so I've got an Arris TM802G for sale if I ever get around to putting it up somewhere. Keep in mind, this does not have WiFi, which is one of the reasons I bought this modem and not the TM852G which includes WiFi. I wanted to use my own router which will outperform anything that is integrated into a telephony modem.

It is a DSL modem that is wireless. It is not compatable with cable. If your internet provider is DSL, you should verify with them that this particuar modem will work for you.

Its just a modem - you'll have to get a separate router. Unlike what comcast provides which is a dual purpose modem/router.

It WORKS with Comcast. I just ordered the second one to skip the riddiculous $8 Modem rental (Lost the first one due to a power surge few days ago (Idiocy will always prevail...USE a power surge protector). I start by connecting the cables to the modem then the ethernet cable to my laptop and lastly plug the modem to the power outlet. Open up your browser, go to xfinity.com, loggin to your account and it will self detect and self install your new modem. the last step which will be updating the hardware (it takes forever and franckly I don't know if it does update). I just open a new tab/window, browse thru multiple websites to test the internet. Unplug the power cord to the modem, plug the ethernet cable to your wifi router, plug in both modems and everything should work.

I have this model and it does work with Comcast Internet and phone . I purchased through Amazon not Best Buy.

I'm not sure. In my area Comcast uses cable to provide internet service and this modem is for ADSL, not cable. Here's a link to the user manual: http://www.tp-link.com/Resources/document/TD-W8960N_V3_User_Guide.pdf

Yes, I have the TG862G and I run XFinity phone, wired and wireless internet. I don't pay rent anymore for modem and router. TV requires a separate digital cable box supplied by Comcast. Some configuration may be required, which Comcast Support will not help you with. I was able to resolve my iphone5 connectivity issues by going to online forums. Everything is working fine now.

No this modem does not support comcast phone service. There is a modem arris on amazon that does.

Works for me with Oceanic. The tech said it wasn't listed but she tried to activate it anyway and it worked. My only issue is the speed. I'm paying for 50/5Mbps which I was getting with the modem from Time Warner. With this modem I'm only getting half that rate.

OK....I may have found my answer. Probably the 'telephony' referred to as not working with this modem would be if you have VOIP service through the cable provider. The cable provider gives you a different modem if you use their VOIP service....I do NOT use the cable VOIP service, I use VoicePulse so I think this modem will be fine as the VoicePulse module just connects to my router. Probably something like Vonage is similar.So, I am about to take the plunge and order this.

This works fine with Comcast. You may need modem. Not all modems are compatible with Comcast.

NO.. Actually I sent this modem back. I did replace it, however, with a "TELEPHONY" modem that is just like the one I was renting from Comcast. I didn't realize my error in reviewing this item until after I hit ENTER. sorry

I have the same services from Comcast and was able to switch to (a used) tm822G which came with a new back up battery. It took me a while to get a well trained support person to undo the previous mistakes of an offshore person who royally screwed up just about everything they could. Once the phone and internet services where switched to the new modem properly I was able to use my own modem but it took several months and two trips to the local Comcast office to correct the billing. Initially I was told by a high level (I think they call them second tier) tech support that Comcast would not be able to switch me to my own modem because they would have to reflash its firmware and once they did, they would own it. So you might hear a lot of official-sounding statements to discourage you from switching to your own modem but going by my experience, it takes a bit of persistence but it's doable.

Hey Sean, this does work with Comcast but this is not a modem/router combo. It's just a router so you'd still need your original modem in place. Hope this helps.

Not sure about Comcast. I use mine with Time Warner Cable internet and have had no problems.

This modem indeed supports telephony. I unpacked my Amazon package, plugged in my home phone to the back, plugged in the coaxial cable, called Comcast to provision the new modem and was up and running in under 20 minutes. Here is a list of Comcast DOCSIS compatible modems: http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/ I purchased this one used at a significant discount and it's operating perfectly. Good luck!

I found this router does just fine with about any modem. I use the modem provided with my cable service and it sings along. If you are buying your own modem, I suggest you check with ATT for their recommendation. I only bought this router because my cable company recommended it, and it's great! Good luck!
