Ethernet Port activation
Model:1150V NightHawk Voice Cable Modem
Hello I have a question that the documentation for this modem cant seem to answer. I was wanting to connect a second router to this modem since it has 4 port...
Hi Crashnburnps3,
Ethernet ports 2-4 are covered on your Nighthawk CM1150V Voice Cable Modem because those ports are reserved for Ethernet port aggregation. Ethernet port aggregation is not currently supported for the CM1150V.
The CM1150V has only 1 usable port even though it physically has 4 total Ethernet ports; this appears to be a bit of false advertising. :(
- I agree, this kind of false advertising is completely unacceptable and I'm pretty pissed.
- Why even have ports for aggregation if it isn't supported!?
It isn't false advertising, know what you are buying.

So tell me how it is not false advertising when they say "Gigabit Ethernet ports (with LAN port aggregation) for faster wired connections" or "Gigabit Ethernet Ports—Four (4) Gigabit Ethernet ports (allows 2 LAN port aggregation to double maximum wired speeds)." but the feature is not available at this time.
