Hello,
I have a question regarding multiple Ethernet ports on my modem.
So I recently upgraded my internet to Gigabit Plan with Xfinity and picked up myself a new modem. (NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem CM1200)
Normally all the modems I have used, all have one Ethernet Plug on the back, to connect to a Router. However, Nighthhawk CM1200 has four available connection in the back. What I want to know if it is alright to connect few of my devices straight into the modem. Are there any pros and cons? Such as security issues?
I did trying googling around but could not get any good answers. I have also asked some of my friends and IT Specialists at my job but none were able to provide me with good answers.
Thanks for reading and perhaps helping me understand
