“Can this be placed between the ONT box (modem) and the router or is it like the linksys that has to have the router between the switch and the ONT box?”

I have an Arris Surfboard Modem Model SB8200 and a Linksys - Velop AC2200 Tri-Band Router. I bought this Netgear GS205 5-PORT GIGABIT SWITCH and placed it between the Modem and the Router.

Hi Jack, This only works as an additional port for the router. You may still need a router after the modem. If you have any questions, you can also check out our NETGEAR community. Best regards, NETGEAR Amazon

I hooked mine from the cable modem. From there I ran a line to my wifi and my pc. Both on separate lines. The netgear switch automatically figured out which line was the input and which 2 were the outgoing. I hope this helped. BTW, choosing a nickname is soooooooooo stupid. I almost canceled out this review.
