for the average user, they can only use port 1 (or port 1 and 2 if using port aggregation) in the cm1150v. Most isp's (comcast, cox, spectrum) only allow 1 public ip address per modem. so unless you're on a business class line or pay for extra public ip address, you can only connect 1 device to the cm1150v. The reason I recommended it to you was you saying you needed voice. Otherwise I'd have recommended a different modem.
so you'd need to go:
Modem----->router---->devices/switch and then whatever combination of devices you'd like.
hardwiring in access points is the best route you can choose. It tends to have the best throughput.
good working running all the ethernet before hand!

Ijust read your answer from 7:10 this morning. But I added in some things a few minutes ago that were specific to the AX1800 MK63 and my saltellites would be backhauled. Am I ok. I am a 68 year old retired guy just learning. Please be patient with me. I am starting to understand.
