This is just a Cable modem- no WiFi. It connects to a Wireless (WiFi) router via an ethernet cable. The benefit is that you can choose a WiFi system that meets your needs and upgrade it as performance & your needs change. A separate modem & WiFi router is slightly more complex to setup, and is two boxes versus one, two power connections, etc. If you just need simple WiFi, e.g. you don't have a large difficult to cover space, you don't need vpn, connecting a NAS drive, etc. an integrated Modem/WiFi router may be a better option. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/networking/cable-dsl-modem-voip/abcat0503013.c?id=abcat0503013&qp=features_facet%3DFeatures~Integrated%20Modem%5Efeatures_facet%3DFeatures~Modem%20%26%20Router%20Combo
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The CM-500 does not combine a WiFi hotspot with its cable modem function. It is just a cable modem.
