Yes, the Orbi 3 is a very good WiFi router, but you still need a modem to connect it to the internet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need a modem (dsl, cable, ethernet). However the base station can be setup as a router or an access point. By default it's a router. Setting it up as an access point is a little more challenging but can be done. If you can't do it yourself Netgear is there with competent support to help you set it up as an access point.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You would need an existing cable or Uverse modem. This mesh router replaces their wifi system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you will need your modem to plug into this unit. It takes the modems signal and sends it to the other Obri units to create a blanket. Also separates signals to give you more control over what takes priority. As an avid gamer, I can tell you this unit made a world of difference.
