Equipment needed for Shaw internet is Shaw modem or gateway, specifically Shaw Fibre+ Gateway modem which is combination modem and WiFi router, plus coaxial cable, power adapter, and optionally WiFi pods for mesh, with self-install kit provided by Shaw. Shaw Communications now Rogers provides internet via cable DOCSIS technology, requiring Shaw modem to connect coaxial cable from wall to modem, then modem provides WiFi and ethernet. Shaw provides Fibre+ Gateway modem, models like XB6, XB7, XB8, which are DOCSIS 3.1 modems with WiFi 5 or WiFi 6, included with rental 10 dollars per month or free with some plans, or you can buy compatible modem but Shaw recommends using Shaw gateway for support. Equipment includes coaxial cable to connect wall outlet to modem, ethernet cable to connect modem to computer if wired, power adapter for modem, and Shaw WiFi pods or BlueCurve pods for mesh coverage in large homes for 100 to 150 dollars per pod if needed. Self-install kit includes modem, cables, and instructions, with activation via My Shaw app. For TV, need Shaw TV box. So equipment needed for Shaw internet is Shaw Fibre+ Gateway modem, coax cable, power adapter, and optional WiFi pods, with Shaw providing equipment with rental and installation included, no need for separate router as gateway includes WiFi, though you can use own router in bridge mode.
