CM1200 modem activation with no ethernet port
Considering it's a wireless world now, why would Netgear force you to create a hard connection with your modem and computer on setup??? I have a macbook pro and they no longer have ethernet ports. ...
Hard wired ensures the best connection for setup. The modem is not WiFi so hard wired is obviously the way to set it up. I have a MB Pro too and one just needs to get an adapter for RJ45 hard wired connection, that, or have a friend come over and get it set up. I have hard wired to several modem/routers for setup and maintentence
Same here. I bought USB C to LAN adapters from Amazon. Works well for Mac laptops with out built in LAN ports. Seems to be that Apple is going that way on the LTs. :smileyfrustrated:
