Customer had ADSL thru phone company and switch to Cable Modem service. A netopia 3347wg was purchase from the phone company. Is it possible to reconfigure the netopia so it will act as the router for the system.

These devices usually have just a few types of connections, primarily PPPOE or PPPOA and, by design connect directly to the ISP.

If you want a router, buy a router.

you are correct. The 3347 model only has ADSL as the WAN interface, so that won't work.

The Netopia 338X series have both Ethernet and DSL on the WAN side, but not the 3347.
