Help,
Im a Cox Cable user, going from the panoramic V8 (best modem they offer) to the now G54.
I would like a solution or other options about the way the Ethernet ports work in the back.,
First question: I left the cox modem because when in bridge mode only one port works. Im hoping thats not the case with the G54?
2nd question: if in fact, this is the same situation… What do i do now to get my current Google Pro 6e wifi mesh system at speeds faster than just 100-200 MGPS?? I run my fast ethernet port to my 2.5 multiswitch to direct connect 2 laptops and 2 xbox systems. All of which will hit 2-2.3Gigs of speed. Problem now is i have no ports left over from Modem. i even tried using a port from the switch. Neither was a success. I spoke with Google and Cox and couldnt get them both on the same page and were of no help, both said to do opposite things.
3rd question: Does Arris modems offer a way to turn off there WIFI only? this way im not running into “double NAT” situations. This is Googles excuse-but i never used the Cox Wifi… Dont you have to be using both WIFIs to cause a double NAT issue?
4th question: When i run a ethernet from my switch, (this is where google and cox dont even know) to my Google router, does it go into the WAN (googles way) or does it go into the LAN (Cox way)??
P.S i have 6 google routers running there mesh system
Please help with any opinions, thoughts, or solutions.
Thanks
