Is this modem wireless? Is this modem wireless or does it have to be connected via ethernet cable to the computer?

Question

HomeTech · Accepted Answer

This modem is NOT wireless. In researching the best setup, most people seem to agree that you are better off with a separate modem and wireless router than a combo unit, so that's what I did. We have the internet connected via coax to this modem, then connected the modem to a Netgear wireless router with a wired connection. All my devices are then connected wirelessly that way, and we're getting great service.

For wireless you will need to plug in a wireless router. This modem only has one wired connection.

Not wireless. Needs to be connected to a wireless router... which I recommend. My personal preference is for separate items; I don't care for all-in-one routers.
