Essential, Enhanced and Elite customers are required to purchase, rent, or supply a DOCSIS 3.0 or later modem. If you decide to purchase a modem elsewhere, it must be a DOCSIS 3.0 compatible, reputable name brand. 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 version modems are no longer supported. FPU directly supports Motorola or Arris brand modems only. Due to firmware updates applied by other companies, other brand modems may not work well. DOCSIS 3.1 modems will function on our network but will provide no additional benefit. To get internet access with FPU, your computer must have a functioning network card/ethernet port, or you may connect a wireless router to the modem for your wireless devices. FPU provided internet modems do not have built in wireless or router capability.
