Be careful with refurb cable modems. If it was registered to a previous customer of Xfinity, then Xfinity will not let you register the modem to your account. I just spent an hour on the phone today dealing with this problem on a refurb modem I bought on Amazon. It's a common problem as I discovered reading reviews on Amazon. And Xfinity will not budge nor will they contact the previous owner to get permission to transfer registration.

This modem only has 2 internet ports and I need 4. Is there anything adapter I can buy to add 2 more ports?

Yes, it's called a router.

Oookay. I guess I should have been more specific as to why I need more ports. I have a tp link mesh wifi system that's one port, a desktop pc that's 2, a security alarm system homebase that's 3 and a security video camera homebase that's 4. And that's why I need for more than 2 internet ports. My current 3.0 modem/router has 4 oorts but I want to upgrade to a 3.1 docsis Modem.

Your current device is a modem router combo. This is a modem only. You need a router. You cannot plug multiple things into a modem. Your TP-Link mesh system is a router. I don't know off the top of my head how many ports are on it, but if you need more than whatever is on it, you can add a switch.

That's what I thought but I plugged everything into my current modem/router combo and the tp link and the other homebase are working. Since it it's all working I'm not in a rush to upgrade but I guess I should look for a 3.1 modem/router instead because the tp link doesn't have any other porta besides the one one for the modem.

Well, yeah, it works because it's a modem router combo.
