* Data throughput will be reduced by network overhead. Delivered data speeds are also dependent upon the configuration and capacity of the data-over-cable service on which the MG7540 is used.

** Speeds shown are maximum wireless speeds derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual speeds will vary.

Yes this is a bridge modem meaning it does not have WiFi built-in.

No, this modem only supports coax based cable interenet.  Coax cable is the same cable that plugs into the antenna port of a tv.

Depends on your internet provider.  Xfinity uses an app for setup while most other providers use a dedicated web page in your account. If all else fails, all providers can add your modem over the phone.
