   Perhaps reading the documentation for the MB8600 would have made for
a better start.

      https://motorolanetwork.com/mb8600.html

      One open and 3 masked 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) LAN
      ports allow connection of any SINGLE device with an Ethernet port
      including a router, Windows/Mac computer, HDTV, game station. The
      multiple Ethernet ports are not for connecting multiple devices;
      they allow connection to a router that can bond more than one
      Ethernet port to achieve speeds over 1Gbps when supported by your
      cable service.

   Which is more explicit about the Ethernet-port capabilities of that
device than the corresponding Netgear documentation for its comparable
modems.
