Xbox connection to CGM4141 router/modem/phone controller...

[looper]

In August of 2019 we upgraded to the new 3.1 DOCSIS standard by getting the 'CGM4141' Panoramic Gigablast router/modem/phone controller. It has been great along with the highest tier for upload/download web speed.

Now, I want to set up on my computer desk, in addition to my current desktop computer which is already there, my son's Xbox. The Xbox needs an internet connection and an ethernet connection, correct? Now, the CGM4141 is connected to my computer and it's 2 ethernet ports are both being used.( One to my computer, the other to my wife's computer in the room also). So, I have no ethernet port for the Xbox. And, I need another Cox Cable coax connection to the Xbox as well... Help

It is a gateway, connect it via the wifi. It only has two ethernet ports?

Better off buying your own modem and router or even a gateway.

If this is a "Gateway" device (modem/router/wifi/switch), get another "downstream" switch, and connect one of the ports to the Gateway. Connect your other wired devices to the Switch. Bingo! Problem solved.

Oh, I missed that. Why does an XBox need a Coax connection?

DUH, my mistake. Just ethernet thru the switch... all good.
