Need Cable Modem/Router that can connect 2 high speed devices (Eero Mesh Network & PC)

Question

I want to get rid of my Xfinity Cable modem and purchase my own modem/router.&nbsp; I need to be able to make 2 ethernet connections one to my wifi mesh system (Eero) and one to a PC directly.&nbsp; What models will support multiple devices with speeds over 600MB/s?&nbsp; I went to purchase a Nighthawk CM1100, but the diagram on the back of the package shows mutliple devices as OR not AND.

Sadly xfinity only supports 1 public IP addresses for the CM1100 and CM1200. So even if there's more ports, only 1 device can be connected. Unless you pay for a business class line that allows more than 1 public ip address.

options?

1.Get a modem/router combo device.

2. after hooking up the eero, connect a cheap gigabit switch to connect the pc/other devices to.

So which modem/router combo from NetGear would support that?

whatever is compatible with your service and speeds.&nbsp;check with your isp.&nbsp;Also, make sure Eero supports ap (access point) mode so you don't end up with a double nat.&nbsp;
