You do have a firewire, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. If you are running wire (the best connection) something can hook you up to the net. Try the Firewire connection first.

If you have to ask this question, you'd be better off renting a router/modem combo from your ISP. It is a router, and creates a wireless signal that can be picked up by any network card that supports any 802.11 specification, regardless of what operating system you are using.

The wireless adapter eliminates the need to connect to your modem via a hard-wire cable. But it still requires you "connect" to your modem via the wireless adapter. Therefore, make sure your modem also has wireless signal capabilities.

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.

Well I have a linksys wireless router plugged into the modem. The modem does NOT send out a wireless signal it is just a cable internet modem so if you don't have a wireless router you won't be able to connect with the modem unless you plug an Ethernet cable into it.

You would need to connect the modem to a telephone line. So telephone service would be necessary.

if you already have internet in your home you can hook it up to that you will need a internet hook up cord they sell that on amazon or Walmart

Usually a modem will be necessary, and definitely if you're getting internet via coax cable.

Yes, Router will be needed to connect wireless devices. Modem is a short of access point to access intrrnet from your service provider but using ethernet cable. You can buy separate router and create your own wireless network.

Yes, the owner's manual says you can connect to an available network using your standard router and modem.

The modem has one, almost all of the modems have (1) Ethernet port. You need to connect a router to add additional Ethernet ports in order to share the connection (or have WiFi).

As sold, you can you must use a LAN cable. If you want to wirelessly, you have to buy an additional accessory.

Hi: It also can be hooked to your computer with the supplied USB cable. Therefore you don't have to run it wirelessly, or have it beside your modem for the ethernet connerction

No. Most modems do not have WiFi capability. You'll need to plug the modem into a device such as a router that has WiFi capability. That's the typical arrangement, and better than a combination modem/router, since you can replace or update the modem or router without having to buy the other.

If you mean to wireless?? not sure. I think you need to check with your cable. With my last project I needed the wireless codes to hook up. Just check first is your best option.

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