Nighthawk M1
I’m interested in this device. Can someone help me with advice on set up?
I wanted to run 100m of cat6 from the Ethernet port to a Netgear Ethernet switch. From there I wanted to run to PS4 and laptop. Via Ethernet , not WIFI. Will this device support this set up? Will I loose much data on 100m of cat6 into a switch?
Thanks in advance.

At a 100 meters your about 1/3 the max distance for a wired lan cable with cat6 you should be able run a 1gb speed the switch and the routers lan port speeds will be the main factor limiting the network speed on that feed. I see no problem with a switch off a router to share the network connection to other devices.

1/3 or 1/1?
