Splitting/ switching a Modem signal
Can a modem signal be ‘split’ and then sent to two different/ separate routers?? If so what netgear product can achieve this?
Are you talking the coax connection?
Or connecting the coax to the modem and then using a switch on the modem?
If its option 2, most ISP's don't support that for a consumer connection.
Some do allow you to buy modem's with more than 1 output that you can connect more than 1 router to.
So a little clarification helps on what you're trying to do and what equipment you have.
Thanks… not splitting the coaxial, trying to split the signal coming out of the Optimum modem and then to two separate routers.
I think you answered it… only 1 IPS per modem/ account….

Might ask the ISP if they support having more than 1 WAN IP address to one line. Some ISPs may support that.
Optimum only supports 1 public ip address.
You could always use a modem/router combo device and connect the 2x routers to that.
But you'd want the other 2 routers to be in access point mode to prevent a double nat and so all the devices can see each other on the network.
Unless you're trying to achieve something different.
