This is a modem. I also have purchased a Router. I have xfinity cable, internet and phone.

It is a combination modem+router. I use it with my phone line. I don't know what Comcast is so I don't know if it works with it.

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.

This modem doesn't do wifi. You need a wireless router for that. It does work for comcast though. I actually had to find a comcast employee to upgrade the software on this device through a comcast forum because my internet turned on and off every five minutes. It has not had a problem since I got that done. And works great.

Not true. Comcast installed mine. It was a replacement for one of theirs. I ordered the exact modem that Comcast had sipplied.

I am using the exact same modem and I have xfinity internet service. I have no issues at all. Works perfect. Price compare with costco before you buy it.

It will with no problems. You don't need a new modem. I have Comcast's older modem with of course a router and it works perfectly. Comcast sounds like they are trying to make you pay more money for a newer modem which is not necessary.

You will need a router for WiFi. I had a very, very difficult time with Comcast and this modem. It ships with an outdated firmware and only Comcast can update it. I tried about 5 times with tech support and gave up. Try the Zoom modems instead.

It is NOT a modem, it is a wireless router. Modems are usually different, and I always suggest people get a SEPARATE modem for whatever technology they're using (DSL, Cable, WISP, Cell Data card, etc). This will work with any modem using ethernet connections.

No you need the modem that Comcast provides, it's a lot bigger with a different config. This one quit after a couple of months use and they would not refund my money just offered another junk one like it.

It is not a DSL Modem, you will still need a modem. I didn't read close enough. It is just a wireless Router. But it works fine as a Wireless Router. I have Century Link as wellThere is a model like this that has the DSL Modem in it. When picking a Modem & Router it has to be ADSL or ADSL2 to work on CenturyLink

I have been using this modem with Comcast without issue. I just had to call them and give them the unit's mac address and wait on the line for a few minutes while granted access. After that I returned their modem and reduced my month bill by $5.

This is a router only. Depending on your type of internet service (e.g. cable, DSL, etc) you will need some type of "modem". Some manufacturers build cable modems and DSL modems with routers built in. If you need both, then it would be more economical to purchase a modem/router combination.

There is a very long review, dated October 18th, 2012 that explains it all. Try the auto install first. In my case it found a modem, but the wrong one. Look very carefully. If this is the wrong one, don't go any farther. Just call Xfinity and they will walk you through it. Make sure to tell them you want to port your number to the new modem. Although it was a process, it was worth it. Also make sure to call xfinity again after you have returned the modem to a service center. They have to be told to take the $7.00 monthly lease charge off your bill. I'm assuming you have comcast/xfinity.

Should be fine. This is a router not a modem. Routers don't care. Modems do. ;)

Yes,the batteryfit very well.I called Optimum,my cable/phone/internet provider and they advised me to pry open a compartmejnt in the modem .I did that .

Yes it works with any cable modem from comcast. the router has an ethernet port which looks like the phone jack, but has twice the amount of wires and is bigger in size. The cable that normally comes from the cable modem and goes into your computer, is instead plugged into the router, so that it can ROUTE all the traffic from various computers and the internet back and forth to each other. However, I would NOT recommend the model I bought because of the issue with the DHCP server built into it, at least not until such a time as a firmware update corrects it. The N700 and N750 have no such issues.
