Night hawk CM1200
To start off I have not read all they post. I have recently purchased a Nigh Hawk CM1200. I connected it to the coax cable and called Cox. I have verified that they have all the correct info on...
Retired_Member is correct. You need a router.
Cox only supplies 1 public IP address to consumer connections.. that's why the computer works and nothing else. Its the router's responsibility to take that public IP address and assign private IP address to the devices connected to it (simple version). A modem only device doesn't have that capability.
The 4x ports make it a bit misleading. If you were on a business class line or paid extra for multiple IP addresses (most don't let you), then you'd be able to use them. But for consumer lines, only 1 device can be connected
