QuestionCan I connect it to a modem?
Asked 6 years ago by confused.
- Answer I bought this switch because I wanted more hard wired connections, 1 for my smart TV, 1 for my Hue hub and a couple other things. To connect all you do is run a cat5 from your modem output to any ports on this switch. Plug in the power and then the other ports on the switch are available to connect to your other devices.

QuestionDoes this switch automatically assign the correct speed? I ask because I have a 200 Mbps service. When I plug a device direct into my router I get 200+ Mbps but when I add this switch it cuts my speed in half to about 90 Mbps. Not going above 100 Mbps.

Questiondoes this Router supply 2 or more IP addresses to a PC?
Asked 9 years ago by mscaramel.
- Answer It's a switch not a router. It just passes network traffic thru it. It doesn't supply any IP addresses. But it will allow all traffic thru, so if your PC has 2 IP addresses associated with it, then both of those addresses will be reachable and able to send out thru this switch.

QuestionHow many Gb per second does this router handle. Im wanting to buy my own router rather then renting a router from local charter servicee that offers c
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This is a SWITCH not a router. You need a router to communicate with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) like Comcast, Fios, Cox, etc. You can buy a Cable Modem from BestBuy or another source instead of renting one through your ISP. If you need more than the supplied connections on the router (usually 4 Ethernet jacks) you can add this switch to add more ports/jacks/connections. Keep in mind, if your on cable and you buy a cable modem, and have more than one device hooking up (usually) you need to purchase a cable modem WITH WIFI or a cable modem and a Wifi Router (same thing like a switch, however it manages devices, adds wifi and is needed prior to a switch) Hope this helps....

- Answer Yes you need an ethernet cable. It is not included in packaging. We used it to convert our old telephone wiring into web plugs. It works great.

QuestionI have a cat 6 ethernet cable in my garage...would this switch allow me to use two devices...one to livestream on zoom and one to attend the livestream so that I can monitor the stream? Would the speed be affected?
Asked 4 years ago by TechMeUp.
- Answer One cat 6 cable per device. The switch can handle up to 4 devices. The additional port is for the uplink. The speed would be dependent on your WAN link.
