C7800 or newer CAX80/30 gateways needs Cable service with ISPs such as Xfinity/Comcast, Cox, Spectrum, etc.
It needs to be directly connect to ISP cable and will NOT work with Satellite providers such as Dish/DirecTV, etc

Why? Are you connected to a cable-TV ISP?

It uses a coaxial cable from a cable-TV ISP.

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.
"satellite" makes me think that you're looking in the wrong place.

Re: Buy a cable modem router
I already bought a Netgear model C1900 cable modem router.
