Does this modem force you to use its wireless (like Comcast does)? We are trying to avoid that. We want to stick with Apple TV wireless.

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

I am sorry but I don't have an apple router. So I am unable to speak on that. I do have a NetGear router that it connected automatically with. I set it up as an access point and it works great. Since I have a kind of long house and the router is at one end. This has greatly extended our wireless signal in our home. A access point is the best way to go, since it connects to our router by a Cat 6 internet cable so you don't lose part of your bandwidth when you set it up as a WiFi range extender.

When I tried it, the device did not want to connect with my Comcast connection. I was told you need to call and have someone come and allow your modem to connect with Comcast. Sounds like a hassle so I never got around to it yet.

you can call charter to have them enable it or buy a router. If you bought the modem from here like I did (it was 24.99 a few months ago) then you can easily log into it to to setup the wireless settings. Cable providers have a special code they place on your account to activate wireless within the modem I know bc I work for one so their is no work around for it.

What about Comcast On-Demand features? Does this remote work flawlessly with On-Demand? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would like to note that while you can't subscribe over WiFi, you can get what you want by using Safari. I listened to one of my video game podcasts from the direct link on their site. Obviously this is far less convenient than just getting it though iTunes Wi-Fi Store (something Apple should be offering already), but that's an option for now at least.

Nope. I had comcast come to marco island and they could not use mine. Said it was prior generation and would not work. I wasted my money on it. Find out from comcast exactly which model is supported. Mine was not.

I cannot speak from personal experience but I do work in IT so I have some technical understanding. It should not be any issue to work with Apple, because no matter what Internet Browser you are using, you simply type in the address 192.168.0.1 in the address portion and that connects you to the router directly so you then logon. When the modem comes it has the administrator id and password for you to logon and then you can setup any specific parameters. The IP connects their coaxe and you simply connect your cat5-7 cable to back of the modem ONLY NEEDED for origial IP authentication so they can setup their end to recognize the modem's MAC addr. It is a great modem and I have not had a single issue with it since install. I was able to give my modem a name and contact password to match my previous IP provider's modem and therefore did not have to reprogram anything in my home for netflix, cell phones, etc. to locate the modem as a path to the internet.

Ugh, I was afraid it was something like that. Either technical, or just SPRINT disallowing it so people don't abuse it and use it as their main modem. *sigh* Yes, for the price you would DEFINITELY think it would work. I haven't had any more luck, and I pretty much gave up.

If this question is about wifi, this modem does not support wifi. After your cable service provider has activated your line, just connect the modem and give it enough time to be registered and maybe updated. With my modem and Comcast it worked that way.

To be honest, I don't know because I haven't had that problem. We got our device for our guest bedroom which doesn't have a cable connection, so we rarely had to use our device. Sorry I was unable to help.

Yes, we had problems with the wireless connection on a new 2013 iMac. Couldn't solve it, rebooted twice.

AT&T; usually does not lock modems. Call AT&T; and give them the mac number on the back of the modem and ask if this is usable. good luck

I am using an iPad mini and so are my two sons in the house and have no problems with the wi-fi. For the speed that I have with time warner it works great for us. Zoom is a great modem/wifi router.

That doesn't have anything to do with this adapter, that's something with your Apple TV, and my recommendation is resetting it, and trying it again. Also, check to see which wireless band you are using 5GHz or 2.4, not knowing which apple TV you have or your wireless settings, it will be very difficult to help you.

Hi, I think there are better router choices around than this one. I found the user interface tough to navigate & it seemed like I needed to reset it quite a few times to keep it running so I ended up getting a different one from Netgear. I didn't try to use this with any Apple Products so I'm sorry but I don't know on that one. Take care!

Yes, I had xfinity activate/provision it instead of the leased gateway. The wi-fi signal though was not very strong and xfinity wasn't able to place it in "bridge-mode" since it's the NA model, not the CT model. This I only learned after many calls, chats with xfinity and a tech call to Arris.
