No. The first port (ETH 1) is the only active internet port on the modem. This port can be used to connect computers, routers, switches, etc. to the internet.
On the Comtrend modem, if the DSL light is solid and the Internet light is blinking, the modem is working fine. Power cycle your router (Netgear, D-Link, etc.) to see if the connection is restored. If it is not restored, take the Ethernet cable coming out of ETH 1 on the Comtrend modem and plug it directly into your computer. If there is still no internet connection, please call Technical Support at 740.772.8611.
