Ethernet connection issues CM1150V
Just purchased modem CM1150V, using OSX, Xfinity internet; in the past with other cable modems, I have always used a direct ethernet connection to my Mac through one ethernet port, and then connected...
I just purchased a used Netgear CM1150V Modem and had the same issue of only being able to have the laptop connected and nothing else at the same time. The people from Xfinity didn't know that either. They didn't have an answer for me. I ended up connecting my old Modem back.
The CM modem is only a modem, doesn't have any router features. To get more than one device connected, you need a external wifi router connected then you'll be able to connect more than one device.
Pg3 of the spec sheet shows a good example of how the modem can be use with just a PC or a external wifi router:
