Cm2050v
I own a cm2050v modem. It has 1 LAN port. How do I expand it to 2 LAN ports?
Who's your isp? Even though the CM2050V has more than 1 ethernet port, the majority of ISP's only support 1 public IP address. Meaning only 1 router can be connected to it.
what are you trying to do with it?

Correction, the CM2050V does not have more than 1 Ethernet port.
You can connect a computer direct to the one CM2050V Ethernet port and have access to the internet. However, the firewall protection provided by the computer operating system is very limited compared to a router. It is not recommended to connect a computer direct to your modem except for short duration testing purposes.
- Whoops, my bad. Was thinking the CM1150V
