Can this be used as a router only when connected to a cable modem? I'm switching from Centurylink to Comcast.

This is a Century Link modem. I have one and do NOT find any way to hook a cable up to it.

this is NOT a cable compatible modem. This modem is for DSL connection use only. You need to continue to search for a Cable Compatible modem... it should have a spot in the back for you to screw in your com cast cable line. Possibly refer to Comcast customer support for an updated list of compatible modems. I'd hate to spend the money and it doesn't do what you need.

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.

I hope you understand this is only an amplifier; it is not a router. If you presently have a functioning wifi network, it can extend the working range. Compatibility should not be an issue. I have no experience with Comcast devices.

You can use the modem as a cable modem only but I know of no way you can turn the Wi Fi off. You can use only the cable modem and not have a device connected to the WiFi. I have no idea if you can run another router off this modem. Why would you want to? This is a relatively expensive device and it is expensive because it is both a modem and a router. You would be much better off financially to buy a less expensive modem that is only a modem and buy the router and you would end up with only what you need and there would me no compatibility problems.

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

Hi Linda P.,I see no reason why it wouldn't work as a basic connection modem to ANY DSL-service-provider's Internet input, including that of Century Link. I have AT&T; as my DSL provider because Century Link isn't available in my Zip Code. Century Link DSL service is available in some vicinities nearby to my area in Orlando, FL, but is not available where I live. My problem wasn't getting the ADSL2+ to connect to the Internet via my DSL service, but in getting this modem to work w/ my wireless home network, once I had a direct DSL connection to the Internet. I hope this comment helps you.Best wishes,Anthony J.

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.

Unless Comcast is NOT cable-based in your area, it won't work. The N300 is for DSL connections. But other that that, this router shouldn't be considered as it is so bloody unstable. Fine one day, then can't find its ass with both hands the next. Stay away unless you fancy standing in the return line at the computer place.

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.

I have it hooked up to our Charter (cable co.) high speed modem which works just fine. The cable internet is really fast but the speed is limited by the router, but its fast enough for our uses.

If you're asking whether you can take the output of the Comcast supplied cable modem and plug it into the input of this router, then the answer is yes. If you're asking can you connect this to the Comcast cable to act as a cable modem, then no.

Yes this will work with Comcast's modem router combination. As long as you have a free outgoing Ethernet port from the router. Most routers have four hardliners out ports. One usually is dedicated to main computer. The tplink comes with two cat 5 Ethernet cables. One goes from router to tplink. The other will go from to link to whatever device u want to hard wire in far reach of house. I'm not using the second and simply using the WiFi. Good luck. Hope it works for u as it did for me.

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

You should double check with Comcast to ensure that you can use this product with your specific plan, but in general, yes! -- this router is designed to replace an existing cable modem or cable modem/router combination.

Hi Anne, This is a Modem only. It has no inherent router/wireless capabilities. It has a port for the Coaxial cable and another port, Ethernet, to plug in the Cable from your router. Normally, your router will have a special ethernet port for the wire to the modem and 4 other ethernet ports. I have this modem for over a year now and it has been pretty reliable, only dropping the connection when Comcast burps. Good Luck Jim

Hi. This is a router only. Do you need a modem-router? Let us know and we will do our best to help.

I highly doubt it. This is for DSL service, which Comcast does not provide. Look for a DOCSIS 3 modem.
