A: No, this ethernet switch is plug-and-play and does not require any software to install.- A: 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.
- A: 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.
