Excellent point! I wasn't aware that the cm1150v didn't have an integrated router (but now I do see that there's no mention of a router in their description/specs). The diagram on the page now makes sense!
So, while I'll have to come out of pocket with more $$$, this does seem like the way tp go! Thanx for your insight!
