Cable modem doesn't have anything to do with home networking. Cable modem 'serves' you the connection to the Internet.

If you buy a router seperatly, you can connect a router to your cable modem.

Oh wait a minute...

I did a search in the Internet and I notice this:

Quote:

Built-in Cable Modem- The cg814wg Gateway connects directly to the WAN using an integrated cable modem. The modem is DOCSIS 2.0 compliant and compatible with DOCSIS 1.0 and DOCSIS 1.1

And you say that it's not DOCSIS 1.1 or 2.0 compatible?

Oh wow, thank you for that link!

I called Vonage support and spoke to a representative who confirmed that my modem is compatible with the Vonage device. I have no idea how the other representative came to the conclusion that it's 1.0...Thank you for looking that up because I would've never known.

I spent a about 30 minutes on the phone with the rep while she adjusted settings and other stuff. Everything looked ok, however I just made a call and after 7 minutes it was dropped. The person called me back, the phone rang, but I couldn't hear anything on the other end. I have no clue what could be the issue here.
