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...
That is correct only the first one actually works. Cost me a Comcast house visit to figure it out $70, I should have bought the CM 1000 and saved over a $100 on the modem!
Very deceiving to show 4 ports one the product and put in the description "4 x 1G Ethernet Ports"!
Well if you need phone support from your ISP then the 1150v would work and be benificial. If not, then this isn't the modem that you should be using as you would be paying for a feature that your not using anyways. No where does it state that it includes a router so this would be one key to remember.
You can also remember this, any NG CM series models are catagorized as modems only. So no built in routers what so ever. Even though some of 4 ports in back, this doesn't indicate a presence of a router. NG C series modems are generally catagorized as modem/routers or "gateway" modems. These do have built in routers and wifi and also have 4 ports in back. Something to keep in mind when reviewing NG modem products.
If yon can, return the 1150 modem and go with a CM1000. You still need a external router to connect to this modem for router and wifi featuers.
Good Luck.

Indeed . Fortunately I have routers everywhere just unplugged and plugged ethernet cords , but wasted 3 hours trying to figure it out
Users should read the user manual as well.
- Well duh. Sometimes you buy stuff on Amazon without reading the manual. The issue is why put 4 ports with 1 ip
