If it is a modem I need , do I need a computer to set up a modem ?
Again, contact your isp.
some isp's will activate it when they install, some do self activation, some don't require modems, some you can activate the modem over the phone, or some make you use a modem/router combo. You'll first need to call your isp to figure out what they need.
- If you do not have internet at all already then it will be dependent on the ISP you go with/what model of modem/router they give you. In regards to the XR300 you will need an existing internet connection with either an ONT/modem/router to connect the XR300 to. You can then connect to the XR300 via WiFi with your PC to set it up.
