I had Comcast run the cable to a pole on a lot that has 110 volt power. I have the cable modem, do I need a router?

The cable modem should supply the basic functionality of a router for one access point.

Yes, as with any network you need a router that is the controlling piece of infrastructure for everything connected to the network. My answer is contingent upon you creating a normal data network. Obviously there are experimental things that you can do that don't require a router, but that would be outside the scope of what you have asked. I use twenty of these devices in a large network deployment and I am extremely happy with them.

I ditched the router rental from my Internet/TV/Phone provider which was $10/month. I'm no expert, but routers are routers and if your Comcast router connects through a CAT5/RJ40 connector it should work. I have no experience with anything Comcast except: I went from Comcast to another provider due to poor service. I called & emailed my ISP and told them I wanted to save some money. They provided me with instructions on where to return to return my old router and save $$$. I configured the router after downloading/reading the user manual.

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

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.

This router has nothing to do with Comcast. To work with Comcast, we need to buy a cable modem that Comcast support. Comcast has list of cable modems it supports. Once you get the cable modem, connect it to the router using CAT7 cable, and call Comcast to set it up for you.

Like most routers, it has an external transformer and actually runs on 12VDC. The transformer that came with mine will only adapt 110VAC down to 12VDC. If you buy this in a country that runs 220VAC, it is possible they will include a suitable transformer. Otherwise, you could probably find a transformer that will take 220VAC down to 12VDC, or hack something together from an old transformer and the supplied transformer's plug and cable.

I'm pretty sure that this is just a router, you'll need a modem separately. Unless you're with Xfinity, they'll provide a modem+router in one.

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set. You may not even need an extender.

Hi Betty, I am not clear on exactly you are asking I guess. You should be able to take this router, connect it to your cable modem with the supplied cat5 cable and then run the setup with no problems. This is about as universal as you can get and will worth the price. Super impressed with the router so far. Hope that helps.

Depends on how far away the garage is; more than 50ft of cable degrades the signal from the modem to the router. Why run the cable? This router signal should cover 100ft without a problem.

You will need to run a cable for the actual internet connection but not for the power. The switch has a separate power adapter just like your router does.

it is only 110 volt. i use it for mobile internet. i needed the router and data card, and an antenna. be sure the connectors are compatible. the shorter the antenna cable, the better the signal you'll get.

You will still need a cable modem. This is only the router part. That would be the same also for the airport express. That said, you can purchase a modem in addition to the router so you don't have to rent one from Comcast anymore. I suggest a Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem. Great investment.

This Router kit is for 110v. It has performed flawlessly for me and I highly recommend it.

No, you will be taking a big chance of burning it up. It would work if it was the other way around, since the power supply would be lower voltage than the router, not higher than the router.

It's a router, not a modem. The modem is what connects to your coaxial cable coming from the provider. The modem then has another slot for an Ethernet cable that goes on to your router. The modem is also what you're probably thinking of. All routers work with all cable providers because they're only meant to relay the service signal your modem is receiving. Look up the difference between a modem and a router if you want to learn more.
