    Hi johnrdonovan1, 

     

    Kinda missed that, sorry! Yes, it is only a modem so you'll basically need a modem-router combo (gateway - to replace the CM600) or a router. So the setup will be CM600>Router>Switch. The CM600 will not be able to accommodate the IP addressing. 

     

    Thanks,

Thanks JohnRo - I was looking at this again and was wondering if I needed to change on of the ASUS Routers from an access point and place it in between the CM600 and the switch.  I was reading  more on the CM600 and it looks like it is just a modem.  Any thoughts?
