Q: Will this modem work with Suddenlink and can it handle telephone calls? Thanks.
A: Not sure about your ISP, I have Comcast and this device was listed in their site as being compatible with the Comcast network. I would check on the Suddenlink web site to see if they also have a list of compatible devices you can buy. As far as phone calls, Comcast had this one listed as NOT being able to phone calls. I am guessing this modem does not have the phone hardware needed in it to handle phone calls.
A: Nope. Comcast only
Q: Will this work with my Xfinity/Comcast system? Will it take special Connections?
A: I have Comcast, and this was listed on their b site as a compatible modem for their network, so it should work. As far as connections, it’s a coax cable modem so you should just need to attach the coax cable to it. This unit does not have built in WiFi so you will need to buy a separate WiFi router to broadcast a network signal if you need that. There is 1 Ethernet port on the back so if you are just puffing directly into it then you should be fine for 1 computer at a time.
Q: what is the range. how far will ravel in a home?
A: This is not a wireless router, it is a modem only.
Q: What admin tools are included for security management, filtering and logging?
A: This is only a modem (bridge) so all of your managed services will occur on your router/firewall on the local side (LAN port). The cable side is the provider's network and they require full access in order to push updates and configuration data to the modem.
A: Used a laptop to set mine up and I too have Xfinity. Hope this helps!
A: Blinking fast.
Q: What does it mean that no telephone capabilities
A: It doesn't have a telephone output so if you have cable phone service phone will not work with it.
