Yes, you will need a modem with this product.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you still need a modem with it. The modem's LAN port would connect to the WAN port of this router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you would have to have a modem for your internet connection, then the modem would connect to the wireless router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you'll still need a modem. I personally have paired my x8 with arris surfboard docs is 3.0. (Model # SB6190) Though I'm afraid you might not need that kind of power. Depending on your up/down speed from your ISP you may be able to spend around half for something that even still exceeds your needs. Though far be it from me to say what you need. Just something you may want to consider. No ISP outside Japan and Hong Kong can give you better than 350Mb/s.(They're the tech centers of the world. Of course they'd be 10x or faster than the rest of the world.) In January of 2017 There is supposed to be a large upgrade for Speed though the US will still max at 1.5 Mb/s. (This isn't happening everywhere. Not even FiOS is everywhere remember and it's 11 years old.) Also that's a HARD max. It definitely won't be higher in the next 4 years. And the upgrade may even only get up to 750Mb/s instead of being able to roll out that 1.5Gb/s. (Still a large jump from the 34mbps that the USA gets on average but only half of its full potential.) Some options might be a modem router combo (for clarity you will see best speeds if you have 2 pieces of more specialized equipment, however with how good these are and how far behind the US is in speeds these 3 router modem combos will certainly be far from the bottleneck of your set up) Model #'s : C7000-100NAS ARRIS SURFBOARD SBG7580-AC 32X D6400-100NAS My recommendation is in that order. As always though make sure with your ISP if it is compatible before you make any purchase. (For example on my rig, I don't have the ability to have a land line through my ISP without renting an additional modem from them.)
