“I'm gettting ready to purchase the Belkin N600; will I still need my cable modem? Hello Belkin; I'm a new customer to this service; I recently bought the Kindle Fire and I don't have very good wireless connection in my home. After purchasing the Belkin N600 will I still need the modem provided to me by the cable company that I currently use to connect to internet?”

The Belkin N600 router does not have a built in modem so yes you will need your current ISP supplied modem. We do not manufacture any modem routers. Regards, Belkin Support
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes you will still need your cable modem. This just lets you connect to the modem with no wires.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, keep the modem. You need the modem to communicate with your ISP (internet service provider). The router you purchased takes the data and sends it over the airwaves to your computer(s). You need both the modem and router. Some ISPs will provide you with a single unit that has both a modem and wireless router built in. Check to see what exactly you have but in either case, you will still need a modem in addition to your N600 router.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Hambone, Yes, you will still need your modem. I am assuming your modem is not wireless, and that is why you bought your Belkin. You will need to run the Ethernet cable from your modem to your Belkin, so that it will work properly.
