I’ve been connecting mine to his with a Ethernet cable since his is connected to the modem. That modem only has one ethernet port. Been getting by with this situation for awhile but now that I’m fully back from college, I can’t stand the constant ping spikes and freezes when playing games. I was thinking of methods to make this work but I believe just buying a whole new modem entirely could help. Would the NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem CM1200 work for 2 routers? I know it has 4 ports so I just wanted to know if it’ll be what I’m looking for. Or just open to any suggestions too!
