I have a cable/satellite box, and my TV is connected with a HDMI cable.
I would like to buy a cable modem router, model C 7800 Nighthawk. My question is, how to connect to the router: is Via HDMI or Coax cable
I will appreciate your answer Thank you!

C7800 or newer CAX80/30 gateways needs Cable service with ISPs such as Xfinity/Comcast, Cox, Spectrum, etc.
It needs to be directly connect to ISP cable and will NOT work with Satellite providers such as Dish/DirecTV, etc

I already bought a Netgear model C1900 cable modem router.
I think this router works for me.
