A:AnswerThe switch is unmanaged, so traffic control is performed by an upstream switch or router.
In other words - it does not matter which cables go to which ports, as long as one of the cables runs to the router.
A:AnswerYes. The fiber connection on the internet side does not matter, you would connect this switch to the ethernet port on your router to "create" more ports for additional devices. The router will perform traffic control for you.
A:AnswerThat’s unusual. A switch simply expands your wired network. I’ve never come across this issue. This is probably a wiring or port issue. Check the uplink cable and replace with another. Make sure you connect the switch to the LAN port of the router.
A:AnswerNo, this one does not do that. You’ll see POE in the description of any switch that supports Power Over Ethernet, and you’ll see that feature reflected in the higher price.
