“I need 4 or 5 Ethernet connections at the base. How would The Velop support this. Would I need a switch in addition to the Velop system.”

• Yes you would need to set up the Velop network first. Then get a switch and attach it to your base unit. DO NOT attach the switch to it till the Velop network is setup. It will cause problems. I ran into this issue with mine. Once I disconnected the switch everything on Velop connected and then I went back and plugged in switch. Everything works as it should now.

• Hi, Dave. A switch and a wired back haul setup would do the trick.

• Yes a switch or a hub plugged into one jack on base location would provide additional connections.
