No, this is just a switch to send the signal to extra devices to an existing internet service
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a wired switch and does not provide wifi. You need a wireless router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No - this is an Ethernet switch. It allows multiple wired Ethernet devices (computers, laptops, and others) to share a single Internet connection. You will need an Internet provider (CenturyLink, satellite, local cable provider) before you will have Internet service. Depending on the type of service you choose (cable Internet, DSL through CenturyLink), you can buy your own modem/router instead of using your provider's equipment.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Short answer, no. This Linksys is just a switch. You can buy a wireless router and pay no service plans fees if that is what you require for your connectivity, and you do not need an ISP to make that work. The ISP is where you get to the internet through, of course, so without one, all you will have is a wireless network around your house, to share files or printers on, or access streaming video/audio products from your own sources and players.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Without an Internet provider, the router is useless except for connecting to other computers and printers in an intranet (I.e. Same room).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes you still need an internet provider. what you purchased was the equipment to hook your computers and or laptops or tablets up wirelessly. but you still have to have a provider in order to surf the web
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you will still need a provider. This device just allowed you to connect multiple internet devices to your internet modem/DSL Router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would still need an internet provider to use this product. Practically every single product that I can think of you would still need an internet provider. Routers simply give you the ability to take one incoming source of internet and split it based on how many ports the device has.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will certainly need an internet provider.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This product will do exactly that. There is no internet provider required to use this device at all. Hook up all your PCs and your ready to go. But! If you need access to google or Facebook this device will not provide that. Only an Internet provider can.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
