# of IPs available on Cable Modem
The typical cable modem is capable of serving multiple IP addresses. I'm having issues with my cox security system 'seeing' the cameras. If I move the CHS Router as the first device off the cable modem, it works great. But that means the CHS router grabs the 'real-world' IP and I can't get to any of my servers inside my network. The CHS router is also a 10/100 device and I have a GIG network ready to go to GIGABLAST fiber, so that won't work.... Anyway, I added a DMZ to my router/firewall and bridged that to my WAN port hoping to get a 2nd IP for the CHS router and not impact my home network. But, I don't get an IP on that port.... I'm thinking that Cox limits the number of IPs to a single address on resi cable Modems. How do I get another IP so that my CHS router works correctly and does not impact my existing network?5.5KViews0likes2Comments
