Coaxial cable/access without?!

I need to upgrade my router, but see that the newer models don’t have a coaxial input.  How does one connect to the internet without using one?

    Routers dont' have Coaxial cable inputs. 
    Modem and modem gateways do. 


    What model product do you have?

      Ok, sorry for that mixup.  I have a WIRELESS-N ROUTER W/USB BNDL (WNB2100-100NAS).  It reached EOS.  None of the replacements have a coaxial input and that is how I get my internet from my ISP.

        Also, was curious how others get their internet using equipment without Coaxial input.  Not sure how that would even work.
