I'm also wondering if Comcast has somehow figured out a way to keep me from connecting more than one device to the internet.

I've got one device connected directly to the modem right now, and it's working. If I connect the router, then only one thing in the router will work and the others won't. If I connect the Nest device, the app says the modem won't connect to the internet.

Inception. Connect a router to your router and put everything behind your inside router. Now your whole network is one device :) -- (edited) - oblique Jul 21, 13:50 1
- Yeah, it ain't right. It's passing through the IP address instead of creating a closed network. - Mop Jul 21, 14:03
