How can I assign bandwidth to Lan ports on my CM1200?
I have two network cables coming out of my CM1200. One goes to my LinkSys network router, and the second goes directly into my LG TV. The LG TV also has a downloadable network speed tester. Now, I have one Gbps speed coming into my CM1200. I'd like to ensure that I get good speed coming out of the modem to my TV, so I can easily stream 4K. However, the network speed tester running on my TV tells me I'm only getting slightly less than 100Mbs. Soo - is there any NetGear or third part software I can install/use on the CM1200 modem to ensure I'm getting more of that overall one Gbps speed - particularly since this is a *wired* connection? [and "no, it isn't a problem with the incoming cable: when I test the internet speed on my windows computer or Android pad, I get close to 1 Gbps speed"]

Something that the CM modem does not support since it's a modem only and the ports on the back of the CM modem are ISP WAN IP addressable ports only. If your ISP supports this then you could possibly have up to 4 different WAN IP addresses thru the modem.
I figured that I'd strike out on my query. However - can anyone tell me why I'm getting only 100Mbps when my ISP service is one Gbps and my Cable Modem is *hard-wired* to my LG TV? I don't get it.
How are you determining your only getting 100Mpbs? This seen on the TV?
Is there a wifi router connected behind the CM modem?
Have you tested a wired PC connected directly to the back of the CM modem to check speeds?
Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status and event log page.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What is the brand and model of the host wifi router connected to the modem?
