I bought a Netgear CM500V cable modem hoping to free myself from the cable rental fee, but can't get it to work with any of the routers I have. The internet works great when plugged directly into the cable modem, but when hooked up to a router I can get only get internet through it to one device. If the WiFi grabs the connection then all the LAN ports are dead and they show up as either Not Connected or Unknown Connection (No internet) on the attached computer in Windows, and the router's setup shows no connected wired devices. If a LAN port snags the connection it then the WiFi has no internet and the rest of the LAN ports are still dead.
It does the same thing on all three routers -- a WNDR3400v3, WPN824N, and WNR2000v3, which all work with the Xfinity modem/router. (double NAT),
I sent the cable modem back and got a replacement and it does the same thing.
Any ideas? I mean, this is something that should just work, right?
