Upgraded WNR2000v1 Wireless Router, but no cable port
Good afternoon,
I recently received an email that my WNR2000v1 Wireless Router was nearing it's end of support and I should get a replacement if I want to maintain my security levels. I purchased a Nighthawk WiFi7 RS200, as suggested, but when I received it and tried installing it there was no coaxial port for my cable connection.
Did I purchase the correct router? None of the Nighthawk models seem to have a coaxial port.
How do I resolve the missing coaxial port? Should I reach out to my cable company?
Regards

Thank you for the reply. I went back to get the info you requested and discovered the hardware isn't Netgear but another manufacturer. Something that I should've done before ordering the router.
I guess I'll take this as a teaching moment.

How old is that hardware? It is possible that an upgrade could give you better performance.
Netgear does make gateways (modem+router) that have a coax connection.

Something odd here, as the WNR2000v1 was launched in 2009, so it be became EoL a long time ago. The final firmware was released in 2011...
Plus it had no coax connection, so if you have one in your current gateway you must have a different model. Can you look at the label of your current product, and let us know what you have?
