CM 1200 - Multiple Ports

OK, so I am a n00b with networking stuff. I have the CM1200 and it has four LAN ports. Am I able to connect one port to my wireless router to provide service to wifi connected devices and another modem port directly to my xbox? I have tried to do so but the wifi router will only work when the xbox is not plugged into the modem. -TKF

    No, the 1200 only supports the use of 1 external device or a external router. If LAG is enabled on the modem then you can connect a LAG supporting router to two of the ports for LAG support. The other ports are for multiple WAN IP addressing from ISPs.

        The R7960P router supports LAG on it's WAN side.
