“Do I still need a modem from my cable company with this router”

1-2 of 2 Answers

• Yes, you will still need a Cable Modem. You can either rent a Cable Modem from your ISP (Xfinity, WOW!, AT&T, etc...) or you can buy your own and they will provision it for use. These Eero 6 systems act as a Router AFTER your Internet connection, which is provided by the Cable Modem. You will connect the Eero 6 Router (any any Router for that matter) to your Cable Modem via an Ethernet cable. These Eero 6 units will provide a DHCP Server (providing IP Addresses to your wired and wireless clients), a switch (as they have a second Ethernet port that you can connect to a wired computer or to another Ethernet switch), and they also act as a Wireless Access Point (providing 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax coverage inside your house).
