C3700v2 – N600 not working as router
I have my C3700v2 - N600 plugged into a Nighthawk CM1200. The idea is to use the Nighthawk as the modem and the N600 as the router. Modem is working fine and I have a signla through the modem xfi...
You can't.
The CM1200 isn't a router. Its a modem only device.
And the C3700 doesn't have a router only mode. It can either be a modem/router combo device or a modem only device.
It does have a way to force it into a type of access point but you'd still need a router between the cm1200 and the c3700 if you set that up.
Thanks, I wasn't aware the C3700 doesn't have a router only mode. It's certainly not working as a modem-router combo; the technician I contacted at xfinity claimed this was because it is only DOCSIS 3.0. Would you happen to know why?
I do actually have another router, FIOS-G1100. Can I use this as a primary modem or otherwise "to force it into a type of access point" between the Nighthawk and the C3700?
