Ethernet has a self-assigned IP Address & will not be able to connect to the Internet
NETGEAR Nighthawk Multi-Gig Speed Cable Modem DOCSIS 3.1 for XFINITY by Comcast Two (2) Gigabit Ethernet port with auto-sensing technology. How do I set up this modenm so I can have one ethernet...
The CM series of modems is good. Also the CM series support Link Aggregation as well. So if you have a external router that supports WAG on it's WAN side you have some flexibility of using both ports on the CM modem connected to 1 router with it's WAG enabled on it.
Nothing wrong in having additional ports.
Just have to remember that for your ISP, unless you ask and pay for the additional IP address, 1 port can only be used at a time on the CM modem.
Thanks for responding. I have the new Linksys MR9600 Mess Router. I assume it has all features and functions.
Assuming is a poor choice.
That Linksys model doesn't have wan port aggregation that I could find.
But maybe your next model might.
Ya, I don't see any LAG support on that model router. :smileyindifferent:
