Nighthawk C7100V combo modem router
Just purchased this unit and discovered it “needs” a battery. Does it need the battery to function? Or is the battery only used to work if the power to the house stops?
No, it does not need a battery to function. The battery is only needed to function in the event of a power outage.
Both the Quick Start Guide and the User Manual indicate the battery is sold separately.
