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. I can't remember the default configuration of the r7000 but the instructions with any router/switch should guide you through the combination setup. 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.
regards
Philip

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
