No internet on R8500 when pc connected to CM1200
Hello all, I recently purchased a CM1200 modem and R8500 router in order to upgrade to Gigablast by Cox. Currently testing setup and it works flawlessly as long as my pc is hardwired to the R850...
Many cable ISP allow only one device only issue one IPv4 address to one MAC address - sometimes the cable modems require a restart before other sysems can access the netwrok again. So either a PC, or the router.

Thanks for the helpful link?

Generally, for eight ports or fewer, I lean toward the cheapest piece
of (gigabit) Chinese junk I can find at the local MicroCenter store on
any given day. If I'm in an extravagant mood, I might splurge on a unit
with a metal case. (Slightly less likely to get pulled off the shelf by
its cables.)
