The 5-port 10/100 Desktop Switch enables the instant connection of up to five Ethernet devices at speeds up to 100 Mbps. Its compact size and durable metal case allow for easy placement anywhere.
Q: Is there a "Y" cord for a Netgear 6200
A: I'm assuming the network extender for Verizon is to increase you cell coverage at your location, thus the calls are going over VOIP. You don't use Y cables in networking. They reduce traffic speed and other problematic issues. All you need is the modem, WiFi router with at least 4-5 ports and if you need more ports, then that is what the switch is used for. Most modems now a days have the routers built into them. The switch is what controls the flow of web traffic to each device, the router assigns the IP addresses & manages the web traffic, and the modem connects you to the internet.
Q: Can I split one Ethernet cable into more than one
A: Yes. Easy plug in and done. Split one ethernet in into 4 out.
A: When you say connect to your wifi you don't mean wirelessly right? You would have to run an ethernet cable from your modem/router to the switch and then ethernet from your switch to the device your attempting to get internet to get internet to. If you are willing and able to run the cables then yes there is no further setup or configuration needed
A: If the switch is not clearly marked, the The first number one is the input.
A: That will work. The switch ports are actually universal, you can plug any device into any port and it will still switch between all five ports. The labeling on the outside of the device is just for organizational purposes- help you better identify your lines in and out.
A: Really depends on your router and what you want to spend. From what I see from your post, you don't want anything expensive. If your router supports 10/100/1000Mbps, then look at the TP-Link TL-SG1008D 8-Port Gigabit switch or the TrendNet TEG-S80G 8-Port Gigabit switch (both under $30). If your router only supports 10/100Mbps, look at the TrendNet TE100-S8 8-port or the Rosewill RC-406X 8-port (both under $15).
