Fer sure, I just needed to make sure because no matter what I'll have to get a cable modem to convey between my coaxial input and my actual Netgear router so I'd assumed that getting the CM1000 would work for that. Am I wrong in thinking this?

  Yes as both DM or CM modems have RJ45 port in back for connections to a PC or a external router.
  
  Just make sure that your ISP fully supports the make and model modem your looking to get into before making the jump.

       It's neither; its a cable-TV modem, not any kind of DSL modem.

       So far as I know, CenturyLink is not a cable-TV ISP, making a CM1000
    (or any other cable-TV modem) useless with CenturyLink.

       _What_ "my coaxial input"? "input" to what? Is CenturyLink giving
    you a coaxial _anything_?

       Which is?

       It might, if you actually had a coaxial cable coming from your
    cable-TV ISP. Do you?

       I'd guess so, but I can't see any of your equipment, and I don't know
    what CenturyLink might have told you. I'd also guess that CenturyLink
    would be providing some kind of DSL service, not anything where
    "coaxial" would appear in the conversation.

    Who cares? How is this helpful? (Especially for someone who's likely
    to be concerned with DSL service?)
