why it wont work with cable modem
i bought this router/modem cause it said on the box it was dsl and could be used with a cable modem. and now that i have cable i also got the cable internet and this unit will not work with the cable modem why
As explained to me when I subscribed to my DSL internet...DSL is a different type of transmission from a CABLE internet transmission. DSL comes through the phone line, not through the coaxial cable. Apparently this modem just doesn't speak the same language as a cable modem. ISP told me to make sure I purchased a router/modem that specified DSL, since my service would not work with a cable modem. Also, Best Buy sales associate saw that I was purchasing a DSL product & verified that I did not have a cable internet service, since they are not compatible.
