Netgear CM1200, No IP address gaming console or router
Please help, I purchased the Netgear CM1200 to hard wire my computer, PS4 and smart TV, set Up is successful through desktop and IP address is acquired at desktop, but when connecting a smart tv, gami...
Ok, Netgear needs to clarify this on their description of the device, it is advertised as being to have multiple devices connected, and LAG working on port 1 and 2 only, and supporting 4 different ISP's by having a business account, also i did attempt to set up NETGEAR - Nighthawk X6 AC3200 to it since i bought them together and was not going to use LAG, but also failed to provide an IP address to the Router, and confirmed the router is good by setting it up to a CM1000. But thanks for the replies
ALL CM modems are not routers. Just modems only. So you need a router behind the CM modem. The X6 router should work behind the 1200. Ensure you power OFF the CM and R series router at the same time then power ON the CM modem first, then the R series router. It should get a IP address. Ensure your using good quality LAN cabling between them. CAT is recommended. Disable any LAG on the 1200 prior to connecting the R series router to the 1200.
Good Luck.

LAN port #1.
Besure to power OFF both CM and XR units for 1 minute. Then power ON the CM modem and let it sync. Then power ON the XR router. XR router WAN led should blink amber then white after getting connected.Try a factory reset on the XR router and walk thru the setup wizard while it's connected to the CM modem.
Ensure your using good quality CAT6 lan cabling between the modem and router.
