Nighthawk CAX80 VLAN Compatability

[TechMiner]

Hello all!

Thank you first of all for any help offered.

I want to connect the CAX80 WAN port directly to a VLAN port on a Cisco switch. 

What I'm trying to do is connect a WAN port from a Modem to the CAX80 that is on a different floor through the switch.

Modem_WAN ==> Cisco Switch_VLAN_Port1 ==> CAX80_WAN 

Thanks again!

The CAX80 doesn't have a ethernet WAN port. The CAX80 requires the use of the RG6 cable coax signal connection for it to work.

Wow,

Thank you for this amazingly quick reply FURRYe38!

So the LAN (Multi-Gig 2.5/1G) is used for what sir?

Just for that,  a LAN port. 

The CAX80 needs a coaxial input or it goes into a boot loop. 

If you already have services coming in, you don't need a modem/router combo device. You just need a router.
