It's a modem!

As snarky as this review could be, the modem works as expected, looks nice, manual makes sense, and from what I can tell has good online support. Only thing you should check with your ISP to ensure that they allow modems that you don't "rent" from them.

Is this a flashdrive I can stick into my computer? Or is a whole computer head?
Yes, it is a USB. Not sure what you mean by "Computer head"

Can I get Windows 10 Pro 64-bit retail/full version on DVD?
Previously, I asked this question but a different question was answered. To be clear, I do NOT want the OS on a USB stick. Can I get it on a DVD? Thank you.
You can go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/, and there is a tool you can download, to create install DVD. However, I'm not sure why you'd want to use a DVD rather than a USB.

Is this a upgrade disc?? Also is this a 32 bit or 64 bit??
USB, and will install either the 32 or 64 bit version, depending on what your system can handle and what you pick during install.

Connect to the Web with this NETGEAR N300 C3000-100NAS router, which delivers data transfer speeds up to 300 Mbps via wireless-N for fast media streaming and online gaming. Two 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports allow easy wired connectivity.
Can a netgear N-300 router also be connected via Ethernet cable to computer to act as wifi adapter?
Can netgrar N-300 router also act as a wifi adapter hooked up to computer with Ethernet cable? Norm
It can, but it'd be a waste of money. Assuming the computer has even a single USB port open, you can get a Netgear USB Wifi adapter for under $15 dollars.

Can the Netgear N300 cable modem-router be used for Xfinity (land line) phone service?
I have Infinity internet service and infinity phone service. Can this (the Netgear N300 cable modem router) be used to connect to
a land line phone provided by Xfinity?
a land line phone provided by Xfinity?
It will work with Xfinity internet, but that isn't the question you're asking.
You need to figure out what you mean by "Land Line"... your question, as it is worded, is like asking "will these tires work on a car made by Toyota." The answer depends on WHICH car. In your case, it depends on which TYPE of land line Xfinity provides. I think Xfinity is Cable Internet, but it might vary in your area.
The Netgear N300 isn't a cable modem, it is just a Router.
Modems are devices that turn the input line from the Internet Service Provider, into the standard Ethernet cable that is used by all networking devices.
Routers allow multiple devices to connect to each other, including to the modem so they can access the internet.
There ARE Modem/Router combo devices, but the N300 is not a Modem/Router combo.
All Routers can work with any ISP. Modems and Modem/Router combo devices must be designed to work with the ISP type you have.
For example, Cable Modems only work with ISPs that provide internet through a Cable line. DSL modems work with DSL providers. You can't connect a Cable Modem to DSL or vice versa, as the cables are literally incompatible.
So, if you want to use this with Xfinity, you can, but you're going to need a Cable Modem to connect it to. By itself, the N300 can't connect to Xfinity internet.

This modem and router combo features a full-rate ADSL 2/2+ modem, a 4-port Ethernet switch and a dual-antenna wireless-N router in one unit for a wide range of high-speed connection options.
do ethernet ports work even when wireless modem is turned off
to reduce exposure we turn off wireless modem when not in use. Would the Ethernet ports still be on?
Depends on what you mean by "turn off".
If you mean "unplug from electricity", the Ethernet ports won't work, because the modem is off. It needs power to run. If by "turn off" you mean "there are no LEDs on the Modem when I turn it off", yeah, it's dead.
There are some models that can be powered by the Ethernet cords themselves, but that requires Power over Ethernet support, and the devices connected to the modem to be giving Power over Ethernet... you likely don't have that in your home.
If you mean "turn off the Wireless broadcast from the menu," Wireless and Ethernet work independently. Ethernet will work even if Wireless is turned off, generally there is no way to disable ethernet ports on most household-grade modems.

Verizon Fios Cable
Hi
does this router work with Verizon Fios cable ?
does this router work with Verizon Fios cable ?
Verizon should have a list of supported modems available on their website.
I was able to find this with a simple google search:
http://www.approvedmodems.com/verizon.html
I'm willing to bet not, as Fios isn't a Cable service. Each modem listed is either a Fios/DSL modem, which would have a completely different input connector.
