Q: QuestionI only have one Ethernet port on my spectrum router . How do I plug in another Ethernet cord so the Wi-Fi works as well as the Ethernet. What do I need?
Asked by Crowstir.
- A:Answer You just need this box (or any similar Ethernet switch) and an Ethernet cable. We only have one port on our modem. Our eero mesh router plugs into that, but the eero only has one port itself, and our Philips Hue hub (smart light system) was plugged in there. Now that I'm working from home every day, I wanted my laptop hard wired into the network. With this switch and an Ethernet cable I had lying around, I plugged the switch into the eero, and the Philips Hue and my laptop each plug into the switch. Note that this is just about "How do I plug in another Ethernet cord?" part of your question. This will not make your Wi-Fi do anything different, as that comes from your router itself, unless what you're planning to plug in is an eero or other mesh system to improve your Wi-Fi, like we did.

Q: QuestionCan I plug this into the modem and then two routers in to it to create two networks? And would it slow down my speeds?
Asked by Gamerreview88.
- A:Answer Yes, you can, but I would suggest against it. Having 2 networks from 2 routers is going to do more bad than good since you'll have too much interference in the same area coming from them. I suggest you check your router if it allows a guest network so you can run 2 networks from 1 router.

Q: QuestionIf I stick this in front of my router will this bridge so that I can plug a laptop into this and get network captures of everything flowing through it ? Basically I do not know if the term "Unmanaged Switch" means bridge or not.
Asked by Bridging.
- A:Answer What a switch does is act like a splitter much like you might see with a cable tv setup. If say you had a wired connection from your router to your tv, the router would assign an IP address to the tv. If you added an xbox, you would need another ethernet cable and another port on your router. Add a dvd player and then you need yet another wire! Many homes may only have one physical ethernet port at the wall where the tv set is and so running another cable would be tricky (walls and all)! This is where the switch comes in. It will effectively split that single ethernet port into 4 available connections for multiple devices. Of course many devices are wireless these days so this type of device is only necessary where a hardwired connection is the only option you have OR you prefer the hardwired connection for its speed and reliability.

Q: QuestionI have a spectrum modem which only has one ethernet port. I have a eero system plugged into that port but now have a need for a regular router. Can I use this switch and connect both the eero system and a router.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Here's the path you need: Modem -> router -> eero | ------> whatever other devices you need to use a router for This switch doesn't assign IP addresses or other things your router will. If say you have all your cable/internet "stuff" in the basement, and you only have one ethernet wire up to your entertainment area - you'd put a switch on the end of that to connect your IPTV/XBox/etc to that one router port. Hope that helps.

Q: QuestionIs this switch compatible with a mesh router (Google Home)? Will it have any negative effects on it? Thanks
Asked by Appletc.
- A:Answer Yes, it’s best use is to split a LAN port so that multiple devices can pull an IP address from an Internet gateway or a router. So if you go from Internet gateway (modem) to switch then to your Google home, that will also let you connect a few other devices to the switch and they will have wired Internet.
