CM-1200 nighthawk modem 4 ethernet port
Purchased said item a while back, Spectrum had a blast trying to get it the right speed - but that was on their end not pushing the speed to the modem, and not the modems fault. I have purchased ...
Thank you for the reply....
Yup, they know about it.... been paying for it for years,.... they jacked it up when I switched modems..... upgrading an old netgear modem for this one. Netgear techs said that those ports are supposed to be giga ports, and if ISP does push IP out it "should" work....
Aggregation? You mean agrivation!!!! hahahahahaha J/K
It is nice to hide behind a solid firewall of a router I agree.... but I do need those additional IP or I would have given up paying for it for
years.... If only port 1 works, I can use it to connect my switch and then it will split it to the 4 different IP....
BTW I am on phone with ISP - they said I got only MODEM single IP.... I said "since WHEN?"
LOL

There are differences between "only port 1 works" and "only 1 port
works", or "only 1 port at a time works", hence:

Did you try that? Care to share your findings? Your initial problem
description was unclear (to me) on that point.

People make all kinds of assertions here without evidence or
explanation. You might be right, but who could tell?

A large ISP seldom contains only one "them", and they don't always
agree.
