Connecting a Samsung Smartthings WiFi ET-WV525 to a CM1200
So i connected the Netgear cm1200 to the network, had it provisioned by xfinity and it seems like it is working (although it is throttling at 90Mb/s). i have an old apple router and a samsung smartth...
Like FURRYe38 says, the cm1200 on xfinity can only have 1 device connected to it. Reason why is xfinity only allows 1 public IP address unless you pay for more or have a business class setup.
In terms of your speed, have you checked the cable on the cm1200? direct connect a pc/laptop directly to the modem and test it to see if its an issue of the modem, router/device.
i will connect just the samsung smartthings wifi hub to the netgear to see if that makes a difference and let you know what the result is.
i did connect the samsung hub to the netgear direct but it was on another port (not port1) while there were other connections to the other ports. on the netgear front panel it shows the port is acknowledging that there is something connected to it but displays orange, not green. i will disconnect everything except one device off port1 and see what happens. thx
when you swap things round, you might need to power off the modem for 2 minutes. then connect the device you want on the modem and power it on.
