I connect in tower, it works great. My tower is not set up for wireless, so just plug into USB on computer.

Not sure I understand the question. Do you mean physically connect? This plugs into the pc that you want to be wireless. Software is also installed on the pc in question. It then recognizes your internet provider. Hope that's what you were asking.

Hi Andrew. If your modem has wireless capability, then you may let the wireless adapter ( Belkin N600) connect to its network wirelessly. No need for another router if you already have one.

this is a modem, no wireless, no DHCP, no routing.sounds like you will need a wireless router or just a router with separate wireless access point

I'm sorry, I couldnt tell you. I connected mine from a cable modem/router to a pc on the other side of my home and it worked fine. Sorry I couldnt really answer your question

no this is a modem that connects to a router u will need a wireless router. you would connect the cable to the modem than run a ethernet cable from the modem to your wireless router, then from there another eternet cable to your computer

You do need to connect to the router or modem for initial set up. After set up is complete, in theory it should work wirelessly. In practice (for me, anyway), the wireless function does not work. I gave up and connected by ethernet cable. Ooma recommends a wired connection between modem and router.

This one does not. You will need a separate router, or else buy a combination modem + router model.

It doesn't provide wifi *at all*. This is a DSL modem for hooking other stuff up to the Internet. What you're looking for is a wireless access point (WAP). These days they usually come integrated with a switch (4+ Ethernet jacks for connecting things without wifi or that run better over wires - you may want this), and a router (key feature is DHCP, which hands out addresses to devices - you probably need this).If you don't have an Internet connection, or you do but you already have something to hand it off to other devices, you don't want this modem/router.

This is not a router. This is only for phone use thru Xfinity. For internet you will need either a router(wireless) or another modem for wired.

If your question refers to Wi-Fi, the answer is NO! This modem is not Wi-Fi ready. YOU will need a router connected to the modem to access a wireless Wi-Fi connection.

This modem does not have a router or wifi built in, it requires that you connect it to a separate wifi router.

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.

It must have internet access to a modem via a router or switch. I have mine connected to a switch which is connected to a router which in turn is connected to the modem.

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.

No. Most desktops do not have built in WiFi capabilities. There is a USB plug that I bought through Amazon that does allow you to pick up WiFi without having to plug directly into your router.

I use any WiFi, one of the things I love about it. I believe you can add a line with your Verizon account. best call them to see if this particular one will connect with them.

This is only a cable modem and not a wireless router or access point.. You will need to purchase another device to accomplish that, or get an all in one cable modem/wifi router instead...
