Setup order of devices question: Will this work if I connect it directly to the cable modem and then connect a wifi router to the switch after? Or does this need to be connect into the wifi router that has Ethernet ports? Thank you.
Answered by TPLinkSupportOnly if your modem is also a gateway. Otherwise you would want to go modem > router > Switch
