Are modems used much anymore?

Probably not. I went to dsl a few years ago and this laptop works great with my router and when we are traveling it will automatically detect available wifi.

I don't know why it would slow down - lots of traffic thru your provider, maybe, when more people are off work & online? As far as how long the modem should last, I never had one last more than 1 year & a few lasted much less. I finally bought an Apple Air-port, more expensive initially but cheaper overall than the several PK modems I went thru. Sorry I can't give you more info.

Yes you can buy a modem and a router. as far as features go for a modem and router now days you can find the modem and router all-in-one machine and depending on how many devices you think are going to be used simultaneously is going to determine what kind of router you're going to get if one or two devices will be being used probably just a base model will do the job anything more than that many devices I would recommend a high-performance router or the dual band router I have a high-performance router and I have several devices. I have a PC 3 Ipads and a ps3. Most of those devices are active all the time and I haven't had any issues as far as compatibility goes with your modem and router just about any router and modem will work You shouldn't have any issues it should plug right in but if it's an old modem and router they only issue your going to have is speed but if you're buying brand-new anything out there will work and you shouldn't have any issues as far as your cable signal goes whether it be a new modem and router or an old modem and router

Yes, you will need two of them. You are exactly right one for modem and the other wherever you want. I will say it is better than wireless but don't expect blazing speeds.

Hito be honest, i just realized i did not have it. it does not come with a built in modem, but you can always get an external one via USB. But dont make the modem be a distractor not to purchase the pc. PC is beautiful sleek and fast. new pc's do not come with modems any more, its a thing from the past. I use my pc for work and I barely fax or receive a fax from anyone any more its all about emails. hope this help, good luck!

What are you using the modem for? What's the Internet Services top speed? I have comcast plus boost running over 40 Wi - fi devices with no issues. If you are concerned, spend more for newer top of the line device.

Yes. That is the service I use although I plan on canceling TWC very soon though :-) But yes, this modem is the exact modem that TWC uses (one of them anyways)

It s not a great modem, I had it for 4 years and the range is horrible. Buy a newer one if you can!

My last one lasted about seven years, love it because it is wireless and a router/modem in one, you do not need separate components. Comcast does not give you a modem when you have their service, you have to rent or buy one.

This is not a very good modem, I have sold four of these to different customers and three have been returned because they quit working. Get a US. Robotics usb modem, it cost more but it works.

I used the router successfully for a few months until my Frontier modem died. They replaced it with a modem/router combo so I have a good spare 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)

No, you need the modem to convert the incoming analog signal to a digital signal. There are modems that have built in routers which would eliminate one device in your network and possibly help a bit with latency.

As of 11/8/10, the list of approved cable modems for Comcast lists this modem as approved, but the End of Life date was 5/8/2009. Apparently the modem was supported in the past, but it is now not supported. They want you to get a newer model, probably because they don't want to respond to complaints when the older modems don't work with the newer, faster technologies.

Yes. It is listed on their recommended modems for those who want to replace the Comcast supplied modem.

I'm not a pro so I will answer the question the best I can, There are differences in the wires sold today and what existed in the past have improved greatly, and certain wires are used for various applications, I would check with someone with a little more experience, My internet cable is connected with an old wire as well and I have not noticed any speed problem, Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

My Arris DG860A died after about 9 months. My cable guy recommended the Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem.
