QuestionCan you use internet on multiple devices at the SAME TIME? And does it share the speed if using all of em at once?
Asked 4 years ago by Denis.
- Answer You can have up to 4 devices connected at the same time on this switch all using internet at the same time. I don't believe the speed is hindered but I'd imagine that depends on how much you need for each device.

QuestionCan I plug my Ethernet cable directly from my PS4 into this switch
Asked 4 years ago by Ed.

QuestionCan you series internet switches? Can you plug an internet switch into another internet switch. Will this degrade the speed or signal? Thanks.
Asked 4 years ago by NonTechy.
- Answer It may contribute to a degraded speed since you basically will have more devices running through it than was originally intended. It's kind of like how you notice changes in your cable internet speeds after the kids get off the bus at the end of the day, everything slows down.

QuestionI want to use 2 wired PC's at the same time. I do not use Wi-Fi nor I have a router. I have a modem with one Ethernet useful port. Will this device provide signal to both wired PC's at the same time if I simple connect it to the modem Ethernet port?
Asked 4 years ago by Andygarcia.
- Answer Yes. You state that you don't have a router, but the "modem" from your ISP is a router since it routes traffic to/from the internet. Connect port 1 on your new switch (although any port works) to your modem. I like port 1 because it's easy to remember but not necessary. Then connect your 2 wired PC's to a couple of the remaining 4 ports on your new switch and you'll be all set.

QuestionCan this unit send connection in both directions? In other words, can the single end plug into my laptop, and the 1/5 takes an Ethernet internet connection IN, then 2/5 can SEND internet signal to a mixer? Using a Behringer XR-18.
Asked 4 years ago by Ty81.
- Answer This switch just extends the Ethernet network by allowing additional devices to be connected. Data is send both to and from all devices connected to it. Only the device that the data is intended for will acknowledge and accept it.

QuestionI have a modem feeding a router that then feeds (via Cat 6) an Eero which is in bridge mode. Can I plug devices directly into the router that has five ports or do I need a switch after the Eero to plug the devices into? Does it matter which way I do it?
Asked 4 years ago by Ned.
- Answer Yes, it matters which way you connect it because anything downstream of your Eero will go off line if the Eero fails. It becomes a single point of failure and you don't want that. Plug the new switch into the router that has additional ports if possible.

QuestionI have 4 students on Zoom using wifi in our house. When the wifi goes down it boots them out of a class or a test. If I use a 5-port switch and connect to a router, and wifi goes down will the ethernet connection to the laptops still provide the internet?
Asked 4 years ago by 1234.
- Answer If the 4 students are connected with a wire (not Wi-Fi) to the switch and the switch is connected to your modem/router then you should be ok. If the reason for the Wi-Fi going down is a failure of one of the components, like the router, and you have to reboot it to get the Wi-Fi back up again, that will drop everyone's connection.

QuestionLooked at what documentation there is. Are all 5 ports identical, or is any one better than others as an uplink connection?
Asked 4 years ago by Bear.
- Answer All 5 of the ports work the same. To remember what cable I've got connected to what port, I like to use the switch's port 1 for the connection to the uplink router because it's easy to remember. If your in a tight spot and have trouble remembering what cable is plugged into what port, it's easy to remember that port 1 is next to the blue power light, something you can see even in the dark.

QuestionCan I come directly off of my MetroNet modem into this, send three cables out to TV's and one cable to my linksys router and have everything work? Or does it need to go modem --> Router --> switch in order to work.
Asked 4 years ago by Brett.
- Answer Set it up as you illustrate at the end of your question MODEM--->ROUTER--->SWITCH--->3 TVs. If possible , don't place a router downstream of a switch for best practice.

Asked 4 years ago by ray.
- Answer Yes, you can use a switch to extend the distance and get more than 330 feet (100m). You can continue extending the distance using another switch from your new switch to another destination and so on, however it is recommended no extending more than 7 switches (7 hops)
