Only if you provide enough information.
The R7000 is a router. Unless you have something like fibre broadband with its own terminal, a router needs a modem of some sort in front of it.
If you ask Google to tell you about the "2Wire 2701 HGV-B", the results are confusing. It looks like an ancient piece of kit that might also be a router. If so, then you will have to work out how to turn off its router bit.
To get more Ethernet ports, all you need is a simple switch.

Can you explain what you want to know?
What does this bit mean?
"On an At&t forums and I was wondering if that this type of router/gateway would work through At&t carrier service of there At&t internet carrier?"
I'm baffled, but that is easily done.

Why are you baffled? I think as to what I had asked is pretty straight forward question? I had asked if that this type of router would work with At&t Internet? The router that I currently have is a 2Wire 2701 HGV-B(Black) I'm looking for a router/gateway that has atleast 4 port's on the back of the router in order to connect my smart tv and gameing system along with connecting my desktop computer to Ethernet.

This post isn't about the Model that I had to choose in order to post to the communities. How ever it is on the post of "2Wire 2701 HGV-B" router. Yes I do know it's an anciant router but that is the router that the technician had ordered for me at the time of the install? And also at that time I was a new customer as well, I didn't think that I could ask for a better router than the one they had sent to me?
But I have found a new router that is from Netgear products, which is the NETGEAR N750 Dual Band WiFi Router, 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet (WNDR4300) and also this one Netgear AC750 Dual Band Smart WiFi Router (R6020-100NAS) my question/question's is can either of these router's work along side or replace the current router that I have now? Can either of these routers work with At&t Internet carrier? Which is what I have now plus I also have At&t DirecTv. And if they do work with the carrier I had described how much would each one run me price wise? And can I order one or the other from Netgear and or does anyone know for sure if that At&t would carry the two types of routers? Or would I have to order one or the other from Netgear itself?
Thank's.
