GS605v4 will only connect one device out of three with data
I hooked up a GS605v4 router to my parent's modem that connects a desktop, television and wifi. But only one device receives data. It's possible that only the #2 port conveys data (#1 is connected...
Hello Ford_prefect
The Gs605v4 is just a switch is the modem that its connected to have a built in router? if not you may need a router.

Hi DarrenM
I have a suspicion that the modem does not have a router.
It it is a Motorola ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem.
So this switch is useless for the application of linking the wifi, desktop and tv to the network?
Any recommendations for a router then? Nothing fancy. Should be able to handle 1080i HiDef streaming. 3-4 outgoing ports.

I would say the R6400 or anything above that in the Nighthawk series.
