Netgear CM1200, No IP address gaming console or router

 I also just bought the CM1200 not realizing that I could not use

2 routers ( Nighthawk R7000 & Asus Cellspot ) on this Modem

connected to 2 different ports.(Unfogivable not to mention that upfront, btw)

 I do have an 8-Port Gigabit Switch ( I beleive and unmanaged one ),

would that work? Or a hub?

 Both routers hooked up to the Switch/Hub to ethernet connection 1?

Thanks.

Jim

 I should also mention that I do not

want to set up either router as a repeater.

 One router is in the basement, the other

upstairs both set up seperately.

Thanks

   Along the same line, advertising for most automobile models fails to
mention that there's only one driver's seat, steering wheel, instrument
panel, and so on.

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "LAN ports".

   Is this a new installation/configuration, or was this stuff
previously working in some way with some other modem, or what?

   "work" as what?  Connected how?  Connecting it to a LAN port on the
CM1200 would be a mistake.

> Both routers hooked up to the Switch/Hub to ethernet connection 1?

   If that means what I think it might mean, then no.

   General advice: An Ethernet cable has two ends, so specify where both
go.  Also, if a device has different types of Ethernet ports, then
"connected to device" is not enough detail.

   What, exactly, does "as a repeater" mean to you?

   Almost certainly, your (unspecified) ISP is providing you with one
external/public IP address, so, if you want to connect multiple devices
to the Internet, then the only thing which you should connect to your
modem would be a (one) NAT router; all your other devices should be
connected to the LAN ports of that router.  (Those ports are really
parts of a small network switch, hidden inside the router).  You _can_
connect a (another) network switch to any of those LAN ports.

   What, exactly, does "set up seperately" mean to you?  Both configured
as full-function routers?  Which one is where?  Where's the modem?

   What's the purpose of the second router?  If it's to extend your
wireless-network coverage, then you might get more satisfactory results
if you configured the further-from-modem router as a wireless access
point, instead of as a full-function router.  Look in the R7000 User
Manual for "Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point".  (Details might
differ if you want to use the R7000 as your main (only) router, but the
picture in the R7000 manual is good.)

   Also, starting your own thread for your own problem is usually more
helpful than extending some months-old thread with different details.
You can always include links to any old threads which you think might
be useful.

"Along the same line, advertising for most automobile models fails to

 Most people may not be tech-savy enough to know, that when the

info for this item says "4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports to connect more

wired devices" That because it doesn't have a built in router that

the said ports can only be used under certain circumstances.

 But hey, I appreciate the sarcasm.
