How do I get the ethernet port working on xfinity router for a new setup?
I just received my new xfinity box for internet 2 days ago. I set it up and all the wifi capability is working just fine! However, I have my desktop hard-wired to it and I cannot seem to figure out why it doesn't work. I used the ethernet cord provided with the device. Is there a specific port? I tried changing the port a couple times and it seems the same no matter what I do. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when I connect with ethernet. I obviously had to connect to my wifi to make this post, which is why it is connected as well. If I disconnect the wifi, all internet goes out, but stays saying "unidentified network"

I feel so dumb... I had a different router before and had hard-coded my local IP Address. I changed to DHCP and it's fine now! Sorry!
