Call them and have a technician come out because they need to activate the service before you're able to use anything
Yes, you can. The only problem might be is that it can be tricky to set internet connection.
wireless modem is called that because it has a wirelss router built in. wireless router just a wireless router. if your cable is not wireless you can buy a wireless router or a cable modem with wireless router
You can use a Wireless router, standard wired router, or wired switch or hub. Common vendors are Linksys, Netgear, DLink and they can be found almost anywhere now.
Yes, I'm using one right now to answer this question from my kitchen table (my laptop) to my wireless router (family room downstairs where the cable modem is located.)
Yes.
Wireless routers are not OS specific. And you can't install router on a certain operating system. If you were asking something like: "Can I connect to the Netgear router if I'm using Windows Seven?" The answer is yes, but you need to make sure that you have properly installed driver for your wireless card or lan card if you are using a lan cable to connect your computer to the router.
When you sign up for internet, you need a modem to get internet but a modem only gives the internet to one device. A router is the device your connect to the modem to share your internet with multiple devices (computer, smartphone, etc.) through a cable or wireless.
it says it on the router
The question would be easier to answer if you included the specific model # of the Netgear router you are trying to configure. You can not connect a netgear router or any other router directly to a DSL line unless it also functions as a DSL modem. You can connect a router to a DSL modem which connects to a DSL line.
Their are many retailers where you can purchase a wireless DSL modem but I recommend going on Amazon and browsing through your options. I would recommend a netgear modem.
There are at least two ways. First, you connect the wireless router directly to the cable modem, and then the switch in the wireless router. You have to connect the cable coming from the modem in the wireless router internet port. Second, you connect the wireless router to the switch, again the cable coming from the switch you have to connect on the wireless router internet port. It's better to put the wireless router just after the modem, but it's not required.
Yes, you can.
