no wifi provider

i just got rid of my wifi provider because it was not working where i have moved to so i was wondering if i get a router and modem will it work for my phone and tv for a internet connection without a provider in my home?

    Who do you plan on using for internet? 

    That's kind of key as you need a modem/gateway that is compatible with whoever you plan on using for an ISP. 

     

  • You need a internet provider, routers dont just connect to the internet without one! So choose and internet provoder, get that installed, and connect your gear to thiers. If its a modem thats easy if its a router they give you maybe it can be bridged. Who knows, but as of now nope it wont connect to anything.
