How to have the CM1100 providing network for two Wi-Fi routers?
Hi,
I am trying to have two different Wi-Fi routers connected to the CM1100. My plan is to have one WRT Wi-Fi router connected to a VPN (NordVPN) and let the other (AMPLIFI HD) not connected to any VPN. So I can watch Netflix from the WRT Wi-Fi router from any other country, while using my AMPLIFI to connections without the use of a VPN.
Is it possible to have a switch connected to the CM1100 and then the two routers connected to the Switch?

The CM1100 has 2x ethernet ports. the problem isn't the modem, its the ISP. Most of the major ISP's only allow 1 public ip address for consumer lines. So you can only connect 1 device.
You can pay for more IP addresses or upgrade to business class to get more with some of the ISP's. If you do that, then you could attach more than 1 device (not through a switch though).
