Correct, the V6 has no built-in DOCSIS modem, so relies on a router for broadband access.

Most people don't need to connect the TiVo to their router, but it's needed for two reasons.

1. For Remote Record feature for TV Anywhere.
2. To communicate with another TiVo or V6 as the built-in modem is classed as a different network.
