Do I Need an Modem For This Device?

[Empire24453]

I be getting this (ASUS RT-AC5300 Tri) ON sale and ready for the future when I upgrade.

Does it need to have an modem, with my IPS TalkTalk?

Right now it be replacing Technicolor TG588v V2 Router

Yes you will as this is purely a router. You will need either an OpenReach modem or something like a Draytek Vigor 130.

that's what I thought, I might contact my IPS to see if they will supply with one or not

that being said OpenReach modem says for fibre!
