Thank you for the fast reply but I beleave that you missed what I am asking. As it sits I have an all in one modem/router from the internet company I use. I want to get ride of it and use the one I bought ( AX6) however the AX6 does not have a Cable hook up on the back of it. But I think now I know what Im mssing the (Modem?) I think I need to go back to the internet company and ask for just a Modem? Im trying to get better quality and speed from a firestick I am now using and ditch my cable company. Also any recomodation on a better Moden then what my internet provider will maybe give me?

The RAX50 is a router only device. If you're wanting a modem/router combo device, that'd be the CAX series of devices. Or C**** series. And you'd need to check with your ISP if their compatable with your service.
Or you could simple buy a modem seperate from your router. That's the route I'd recommend as then you control the firmware.
