Cable modems pull the signal from a coax line and turn it into an ethernet signal that comes out of a single RJ-45 plug.
I dunno squat about what goes on inside of those boxes, but routers typically have a WAN port and a bunch of “internal” ports that are all RJ-45 plugs. If you can get Cox to send traffic for a group of IPs to your modem, then they should all come out the ethernet side as well, right? Remember that their modem is NOT a “router”. You can plug a router into it, tho. -David Schwartz > On Jul 9, 2023, at 10:34 PM, Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss > <plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > > On using openwrt on legacy routers, start here, find anything that is *well* > supported and hunt on ebay, or go to a thrift shop and search this list if > you find a decent looking box.
