Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this doesn't have DHCP enabled to manage the package routing that your modem / router does. you also will still need a modem to turn the 1 and 0s of machine language to the pulses of coaxial or light of fiber.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If your modem includes a router, as most do, the answer is yes. It would be helpful to state what your modem is.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is likely that your modem is actually a router. You don't state details, but if the modem has LAN ports and you have an IP in a "local" range (usually 192.168.x.x, but sometimes 10.x.x.x, for instance) then it does have routing capabilities and you should be able to plug a port directly into a modem LAN port.The modem must be set to use DHCP or at least allow you to define the IP addresses. It should also be doing NAT. This would all be in the configuration of the modem using the admin interface.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, Charles. If you connect the switch directly to the modem, only one port will get an internet connection.
