I purchased a new nighthawk router that states it's also has a combo with a modem, yet it doesn't have the proper ports to be a modem.. So I am still using my old modem connected to the new router.

Why is it called a Router and Modem Combo if you still need a modem to connect to the internet with the darn thing?

Also why does it broadcast a 3ghz connection and a 5ghz connection?

Are you sure you didn't accidentally buy the one that is just a modem or router instead of both. Iirc I made the same mistake

It claims to have a built in modem right on the box.

My cable company may just give me a modem for free to use with it, worst comes to worst.
