I reside in Denmark and am considering improving my internet connection. I've been using a 4G modem connected to an ASUS router, but the performance isn't up to expectations. In Denmark, we primarily rely on the copper COAX system for both television and internet services. My current setup uses an ASUS RT-AC86U router, which only provides an Ethernet port for incoming traffic. I'm not keen on adding another router, so is there a viable alternative? I've come across something that might help but I'm uncertain about its compatibility.

You can still set up port forwarding even with a modem and router, though the process might differ slightly from using a dedicated router.

Connect to the router and then to your computer. For example, instruct your modem to redirect port 300 to the router, and then ask the router to send that port to your computer.

Sure, the modem simply changes the coaxial signal from your ISP into a standard RJ45 connection. It ignores port selection entirely. A modem without a web interface isn’t something to be confused with a modem-router combo—stick to the right setup.

You should contact your ISP, as they provide the modem since they support it.
