Need to get both TV and PC working
They came to install XFINITY yesterday and the PC is working great with my Netgear WIRED router.
Today I plugged in my TV to the Netgear ethernet cable and the only way the TV got connected is when I unplugged the computer from the Netgear.
How do I keep both the PC and the TV connected at the same time?

You need a router to be connected to that straight cable modem so that you can have multiple devices connected simultaneously. Only one device at a time can be connected to that cable modem.

The CM1200 has 4 ethernet ports, but for all of them to be able to have simultaneous internet access, you would have to have 3 additional public / WAN IP addresses assigned to it by the Comcast system. And this is something that they phased out anyway.
