Can you use it for your computer area if you want to turn everything off but the modem? or is that a different model

Yes, there are two "black" outlets "always on" for this purpose alone. The master "green" outlet is the one that controls the rest of them.

Yes, you would just plug the modedm into the "not controlled" socket, then have everything else plugged into the master and master controlled sockets.

No. It will work just fine. Be sure to use the reset button on the back (use a pin to push it). Hold it down for 10 seconds. It will reset the modem to its default manufacturer's settings (meaning it erasing any wifi password, internet firewalls, etc.)

Yes. But why not connect your router to your modem, and the switch to the router?

Yes you can use it for anything. You will want to turn off the power savings mode so when you turn off monitor, tv etc it won't turn everything plugged into the green outlets.

no, use the one that if it is off, the opthers should also be off. Like choose the computer as the control because of that is off, the printer, speakers and everything except the modem (always on) and router (always on) should be off. i.e. pick the item that when it goes off, so should the rest. For a TV, put your DVR on in an always on slot, the tv in the controller and the speakers, game player and dvd player in the ones being controlled.

Range to what? Since it is a cable modem and not a router, it has a physical link to both the cable coming into your house and the pc. Range is irrelevant.

I don't know. I use it only to be able to use my laptop in another room. This way I don't annoy my wife. I am not that computer literate.

That is exactly what I use it for. I don't like having 24/7 internet connection, so I have the ethernet cable in port B and turn the knob to A for off and B for on....

It is NOT a modem, it is a wireless router. Modems are usually different, and I always suggest people get a SEPARATE modem for whatever technology they're using (DSL, Cable, WISP, Cell Data card, etc). This will work with any modem using ethernet connections.

I am certain that you can, since the switch is merely directing the connection, but I prefer the other way around. Everything in my home is on the same subnet, and I pre-wired my house for ethernet in every room. I ran the modem to the router, and a port on the router to the switch. From there, every bedroom, living room and kitchen were connected at a central point.

yes but it will interrupt the fax transmission. I'm not sure how you are using the modem. It connects to the computer and then the wall. The fax and/or phone are connected via a splitter from the wall jack. But regardless it will disconnect when a fax or a call comes in.

You cannot use this directly between your modem and your other devices (guessing that is how you hooked it up) you must use a router in between so it would be Modem -> Router -> Switch. Hooked together in that order.

I do not know, I only have Windows 7. But I could get the modem to work with even it, so I doubt it.

Technically, yes, you can use this device without a modem. This device will not, however, provide access to the internet. If you have several devices that you want to all talk to _each other_ then this would do that. I suspect you mean, "Can I use this device to connect to the internet without a modem" then then answer is no..It's a subtle and somewhat technical difference, but it might help someone in the future...

Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

Combo modem/routers do not have the range as a separate modem and router. Unless you live in a small apartment or use your computer close to your modem you will be very disappointed with the range of the combo.

I just did research on this and you can but you can only use it as a rauter not a modem for centurylink
