This LOOKS like it has 4 Ethernet jacks in the back. After a long conversation with several tech support agents, it was revealed that three of these jacks are non-functional. My previous modem had one WAN and four Ethernet jacks, all fully functional.

Hi Swineshead,
Thank you for your feedback. Your concern is due to link aggregation. This set up is meant to allow for the top speeds. More information can be found on the product page: https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/cable-modems-routers/CM1200.aspx/?cid=us-nh-cable-fb-cpc

Hello,
Thank you for your review of this modem. We appreciate your feedback and we want you to know that your experience is important to us. We are sorry to hear that you had a difficult first experience with the setup and we are happy to help you through this. Please reach out to us at Netgearteam@netgear.com with a link to your review and your device serial number and we will look into the support opportunities with you.
Although I replaced a Docsis 3 modem with Netgear CM1200 Docsis 3.1, I increased my speeds exponentially with the new WiFi 6 standard and the increase in number channels available when the web gets busy you get throughput!!! Worth the cost!!
