Can I use this router if I get my internet service through my Cable TV provider?

The MODEM is the unit that must be specific to Cable vs DSLThe router works with the signal from either modem

Yes you can. I am using it with sudden link cable right now. It is fast and was recommended by the tech that came over.

I am not sure if that is possible. I had a home invasion and purchased this for the 3 day period that it was going to take to install a real security camera system. It has a box that sets next to the TV and I belive it has RCA video out cables. If I have time sometime I will play with the unit; however, I so no instructions for allowing it to use a router

No, it's a DSL modem. You will need a CABLE modem to work with a cable supplier of Internet Services.

Yes, absolutely.. although you should probably disable the Comcast wireless feature and hard-wire the modem to the router for best throughput. You might want to consider returning it to Comcast, though, and just invest in a new cable modem that's optimized for the AC features (DOCSIS 3.0).. unless the Comcast modem is already DOCSIS 3.0 capable. Note that DOCSIS 3.1 is due out in 2014, but I doubt you would want to wait that long.

YES!!! Called Cox customer support and gave them serial number and details of unit. They were very helpful and not concerned that this is a 3rd party router (not their leased unit). Router does drop signal to wireless laptop every once in a while but easy to reconnect. I use wireless to connect two televisions (Netflix via Roku) and a couple of laptops and iPads. Signal is strong and haven't seen any problems with buffering on Netflix/Amazon streaming video.

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.

You should be able to use the modem regardless of what level of cable TV service. Internet service is separate.

The short answer is yes. I am assuming that you are not subscribing to a cable service and you just want to use the coax distribution system that is already installed in the house. The antenna comes with a transformer to convert the antenna to feed the coax that most CATV systems use. Be sure you make good tight connections and weather proof any outdoor connections. I have had very good results with this antenna

Yes. If u have a wireless router thru a provider (Verizon,Comcast,cable vision) then I do not recommend this product.

Your cable provider will Issue IP and DHCP. PW is meant for your wireless router. Hopefully that helps.

This is DSL router. Cable connection requires regular router. You might be able to use this one with cable but these are made for DSL connections. Plus this doesn't offer QOS control as other routers do. I got this for frontier dsl connection.

Unfortunately not. I returned the router and bought a Technicolor model from another supplier for $169. same as the model Comcast is renting.

I found this router does just fine with about any modem. I use the modem provided with my cable service and it sings along. If you are buying your own modem, I suggest you check with ATT for their recommendation. I only bought this router because my cable company recommended it, and it's great! Good luck!

No. This is a router. The cable modem receives the data from your ISP " Internet Service Provider" & sends it to your router "Dir-665." Your router then connects via wi-fi or ethernet ports to your devises such as laptops, tablets, wi-fi enabled smart phones ect. and acts as a high speed traffic control center allowing all those devices to connect to the internet.

Yes. You can connect this to your cable modem and use it as a wired router to distribute your internet connection throughout your home or business. The key word is "wired" as this does not have wireless capability. Connections will require ethernet cables.

While you might be able to get some of the routing and VOIP functionality to work the short answer is, no. This is an ADSL modem and Comcast would require a cable modem.

In my set up, yes. If you are connecting straight from the cable modem, I don't think so. A cable modem is most likely only going to give out one IP address. However, I have a wireless router connected to the cable modem, so the router handles IP address assignment. I then have a 100' ethernet cable running form the router to this switch. I can have up to four devices connected to the switch at the same time and all will have internet access. Right now I have two connected.Hope that helps to clarify.
