What does 'Associate Ethernet Port 2 to Xfinity HOME Network' really do?
Hello,
I have a Xfinity XB7 gateway (Arris Model:TG4482A ) setup and running at my home. I would like to know what does it do when I enable or set the option for associating Ethernet Port 2 to the Xfinity Home Network actually do? Gateway > Hardware > LAN Ethernet. I have been trying to Google search or even search within this forum and I don't seem to get a good explanation or description of what this actually do? If someone here can explain to me, that would greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I assume it's something to do with the the Comcast security system you can add, for extra $$$ of course.

Maybe, maybe not, Any LAN port would work. Nothing specific needs to be associated. AAMOF. Their security systems are typically associcated via WiFi / wirelessly.

I have the same question as the OP, especially since my ethernet appears to be down.

The 'Associate Ethernet Port 2 to XFINITY Home Network' checkbox is used when you are attaching a bridge to your modem. There is no other use for this setting.
