Nighthawk CM1150
How do I unlock port #2 on the CM1150V to connect my RedLINK internet gateway to the internet? I've hardwired the two devices and an amber light appears on port #2. I believe the next step is to ...
I presume if you connect the other device on WAN port#1 as a test that it will work after the modem is rebooted?
Hopefully your ISP can allow a 2nd WAN IP to the modem.
I've inquired about this as well and have found that since the 1150v is a modem only, no router, only port 1 is active. Not sure if going the Comcast business route or paying for a second IP or static IP pool will get you a second port or if Comcast would know how to enable the second port.
All that would be needed is to give them the MAC address of the modem and reboot the modem once they give out a 2nd IP address. The modem should see a WAN IP address on the 2nd port after the reboot. You'll need either a wired PC or another router connected to the 2nd port to check the service.
