I have Xfinity internet using my own S33 modem and a 6g router.  My wife has concerns about emf and wants to turn off the wireless router at night.  I am up way before her and need to have internet access as I often work from home.  I want to be able to use a hardwired connection to my home office computer while the wireless router is turned off.  I thought I could use the second (bottom) modem port, but apparently cannot.  I tried simply unplugging the router from modem and plugging the ethernet cable into that modem port, but it doesn’t work either.  What is the best way to do this?

  1. xfinity doesn’t support using more than a single device connected to a modem only device on consumer plans. So even through the s33 has more ports, only a single device can be connected to it. 
  2. Your best option? Go into the router. Many have wifi scheduling where you can schedule it on/off for time periods. Not sure what router you have but a little googling might help there.
