Not sure I understand. If your modem has a rj45 jack. Any cat 6e cable will work. Plug that to modem. Then into router. Done. How my coaxial modem is. See Pic.

Hello,
This router is not capable of modem functions.
You will need to keep or upgrade your existing modem and use with this router.
The modem's sole purpose is to communicate/receive signal from the ISP (Internet Service Provider) eg. comcast, charter, etc.
A 2 in 1 is typically called a Gateway and has both modem and router functions built in.

Your modem should have 2 connections/ports.
1 Coaxial input, and 1 RJ-45 ethernet/network port.
This router has 1 RJ-45 input port, and 4 RJ-45 output ports.
Connection Order: Connect the Coaxial Cable to the modem, then connect an RJ-45 ethernet cable to the Modem, then connect the other end of the RJ-45 ethernet cable to the ASUS Router input port.
You may need to do some configuring.
Hope this helps.
