Is there an advantage to running a cable internet connection through the coaxial connectors on this device before plugging it in to a cable modem?

Absolutely, there can be electrical spikes riding cable signal. While cable cos. filter as much as possible, you have the advantage of added protection. By the way, my upstairs neighbor had a lightning strike hit just their line!

Computers work off of minor electric variances. If you havea power storm or something of that nature it could damage your modem or worse make it into your computer.that is why it is always best to run power lines and coaxial through surge procters.

For true surge protection you will want to run the coax through the surge protector.

I am not sure but I used it with a telephone wire for DSL AT&T. I got rid of it as it is too slow. I switched to u-verse and never have any problems like I did with DSL and that modem. It will not support a coax outlet....

Yes there is a coaxel connector for an antenna or cable connection,,,,,,,,, It also comes with a magnet mounted eantenna;; I use the magnet antenna inside the apartment,,,,, I pick up 4 local tv stations and 5 stations 35 miles away,,,,,,,,,,,, Of course cable would do better,,,,,,,,, The AM FM Radio is excelent,,,,,,,,,,,, THIS UNIT IS GREAT,,,,,,,,,,, I hope this is helpful,,,,,,,,

You don't if your shielded cable is coaxial. The device is an Ethernet router. It operates wirelessly and using CAT 5 or CAT 6 Ethernet cable. Coax cable in your wall is likely your Internet service, and if it is you need a modem.

A modem translates the coax signal from your cable company to Ethernet. An access point plugs into your local network and provides wifi access to your local network.

Yes. I have this modem and I have cable internet (SuddenLink). It uses the coaxial cable to get service.

@Regula, great link. Thanks for that. I'm currently a cable customer, but I'm moving in three months. The new place has coax wired everywhere and I was considering renovating to add ethernet (cat-6).If I can get the satellite company to install their own coax, then using the netgear product may be a good alternative to renovation.

I may have over looked a very important fact. I doubt this router has a coaxial cable connection. It probably has either net cabling or USB cabling hook up. So assuming it has no coaxial cable hook up, then the router and this antenna are incompatible.

Yes, you connect it to one of your DSL modem's Ethernet jacks with a CAT5 cable.

It would depend on the setup. It's a patch panel which is generally used to help organize your cat6 cable runs. Each port would allow you to punch down cat6 cable (without rj45 connectors) to the back. Unless you are referring to a coax connection for a modem, in that case it would not have a spot for that.

If you use Cable as Part of Internet service then they provide Device which has HDMI Output. IMO, Local Cable TV Operators provide Coax cable(old round tv cables) only. In that case, this device won't help. Better check with Friends, Colleagues who live there.

The question assumes that you do not need to have an internet signal within the range of the antenna with which you can connect. The answer is: The antenna will allow you to connect to the internet through internet signals which are significantly more distant than that which would be the case with standard antennas. Of course, connecting with this antenna, requires that the internet signal be both in range of the antenna and that you can log on to the internet signal with the appropriate pass word, if necessary.

I would expect it too. It did a great job boosting both my cable tv and internet signals. I couldn't get HD channels on my bedroom TV before hooking up this booster, and I was dropping internet all the time until I installed this unit. No problems since!

Yes you can, but this is essentially a router. So you could plug your cable modem directly into this Netgear.

Yes, there are coax connections, this is from the manual:Surge Protected COAX/RF ConnectorsThe H10 provides surge protection for your CATV system,Cable Modem, DSS, or Antenna system. The surge protectionfeature prevents surges traveling over Coaxial data lines fromdamaging the system.Connect the coaxial cable from the CATV or Cable Modemprovider to the connector marked "IN."Connect other cable from the connector marked "OUT" to thedevice being protected (CATV box or Cable Modem).

No, it won't. It is an alternative to WIFI or Ethernet. Instead of connecting an ethernet wire between two spots, this permits you to use a coaxial cable.

Yes. I also have another set of devices that allow me to connect to the internet over the power lines. Neither interferes with each other.
