Nighthawk Cable Modem
i bought, probably stupidly, the netgear Nighthawk Cable Modem CM1150V for my comcast service, thinking i could use my existing wifi-routers.
I can not get either of my wifi routers (DLink DIR860L or Linksys WRT160N) to work with the modem. The modem connects to my wired computer fine, but when i switch the cable to either wifi router, i get no wireless connectivity. I have reset both routers to factory defaults, updated firmware, etc., but nothing works.
Can i be missing something? Maybe the routers are too old (8years) to work with the netgear modem?

Re: Nighthawk Cable Modem
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 30 seconds, then power back ON with the router of your choice connected to the modem. Port #1 should be used with the router. The router should get a IP address from the modem after the power cycle.
