Need to upgrade from Rented Media com modem/router.
First I am technically challenged. Does this Modem also handle wireless. meaning I wouldn't need to purchase any other equipment to pickup a WIfI signal? Also does this work with Media com in West Des Moines if so what do I need to do to activate. thank you.
This will NOT have any WIFI functions built in. To use this modem with WIFI you must purchase a WiFi router.
If you want an all in one solution, you need to get something like Motorola SBG6580, or the Netgear C3700-100NAS. There are other options on the site, but those are just 2 of the examples.
