    A Netgear what?

     

    What is the "coax cable from the wall"? It may or may not need a  modem, depending on what sort of Internet you get.

     

    Ask your ##Internet service provider what equipment you need. It may offer to rent of sell you something. But most will let you use your own equipment

     

    Xfinity is an ISP. All ISPs that I know of charge for access.
