Welcome to the community, WW251
What's the exact model number of the N450?
It seems that you have another device aside from the CM400, correct?
Are you trying to replace the CM400 or you are actually adding this N450 device with the CM400?

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your reply.
I would like to just use N450 by itself.
The model of the N450 is CG3000DV2. This I tried alone with the cable from xfinity into it, and a cable to the Dell from the number one position. That was able to get a bing from xfinity and a return but it would not leave the N450 via the LAN 1,2,3,4 positions.
And both of the stream arrows are blue.
I did try the CM400 with a N300 model WRN2000v5 but that did not work. Same as the N450 when the bing was done by xfinity they got a good return but the signal never went from the N300 router to the Dell computer.
So I then removed the N300 and just went with the CM400 unit and a cable to the Dell and everything is fine.
Each time we went over the numbers and serials and Macs and made sure we were on the same page.
Thank you again for your help.
