Hi Philip
I only have the router connected to the M1. My M1is working only as a modem. I don't need the additional Ethernet so haven't tried a switch but it shouldn't be a problem.

Try and keep the configuration as simple as possible until it is working and stable.

Hi Wazzal and ArodiD
Thanks so much for your assistance.
I have tried everything. I think there is a problem with the ethernet port - I'll take the M1 back to Telstra to fix or get a new one.

Hi again, I didn't take it back, I did some more research, I forgot about function of the WAN Port on routers. As has been mentioned in this thread.
I reed some sugegsitons here what Router to use.
Would using a spare Netgear Cable Gateway Modem Router model C6300BD WAN port work or?
Thanks
Phil
