CM1100 etherchannel

I am going to be using WAPs at home. how do I connect my CM1100 to the WAPS?

 

I want to connect the CM1100 to a cisco switch using a etherchannel.

 

Can the CM1100 do this?

Also can the CM1100 be a DHCP server for internal LAN? 

 

Then I will put my WAPS on the cisco switch

 

is the CM1100 just a cable modem and router?

       Half right.  It's a modem. Hence there's no "router" in:

       "a cisco switch" is not a very detailed description of anything.

     

       Assuming that "a etherchannel" means an Ethernet cable, that's
    probably a bad idea.

       Add a router?
