Motorola’s MB8600 is a good fit if you want to:Ĭonnect multiple Smart TVs and gaming consoles to the modem, directly I would guess that some people don’t know that the multiple ports must be aggregated into a single router and instead are trying to connect multiple independent devices to them.įor example, I saw this review online which claimed that one of the benefits of the mb8600 over the mb8611 was the multiple ports which allowed you to connect multiple devices at once. The multiple Ethernet ports are not for connecting multiple devices they allow connection to a router that can bond more than one Ethernet port to achieve speeds over 1Gbps when supported by your cable service. One open and 3 masked 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) LAN ports allow connection of any SINGLE device with an Ethernet port including a router, Windows/Mac computer, HDTV, game station. If I had to guess, it has to do with the mb8600’s port aggregation feature, which I think should be transparent to the ISP, but probably customers have trouble configuring it correctly. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
