XG1v4-A (2023 DVR Box)

Does my DVR box provide a LAN connection for Internet? What is the purpose of the Ethernet Port on the back of the DVR box? 

Thanks,

Greetings @user_fyfqpe thanks for using our Forums to contact our team with your equipment concerns. The port on the back that you are referring to is to connect the box straight to the modem for Internet.

@XfinityJorge​ I thought the XG1v4 box had a built in modem that was activated with just the coaxial though?  Does it need connection to Ethernet port in order for the box to connect to the internet?

Also, do the XG1v4 box need the coaxial connection or can we use a hardwired ethernet connection to the back of the box?

@user_53nmky For cable, you will need a Coaxial connection, there is an ethernet port if you want a direct connection to your internet service.
