Setting up a wired connection
Hello - recently bought a modem, connected it to the gateway with an RG6 coax cable, then ran an ethernet cable from the modem to my PC. It still does not work, I have reset the gateway multiple times, and done all sorts of troubleshooting from my PC. According to online research, the problem may lie in Xfinity not assigning the correct IP address. Any help is extremely welcome.
Note - running off wifi is not an option, it has proven far too unreliable.
