Modem in bridge mode with external router

Hello.

When using an external router with my Comcast Gig Modem, will all the ports have connectivity to the internet on the modem, or can you only use 1 for the router and then make all other connections through the router, both hardwired and wifi?

thank you

Only port number 1 on their gateway device will be active when it is in bridge mode. All of the other connections are to the stand-alone router.

@EG Thank you! The representative on the phone appeared to be unaware of that fact.
