    Hi johnrdonovan1, 

     

    Kinda missed that, sorry! Yes, it is only a modem so you'll basically need a modem-router combo (gateway - to replace the CM600) or a router. So the setup will be CM600>Router>Switch. The CM600 will not be able to accommodate the IP addressing. 

     

    Thanks,

Hello johnrdonovan1, 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

This should work fine considering the location of the devices and since the switch is only unmanaged. It would be better though if you will connect some of the devices (probably the ones near the router) to the CM600 router. All in all this setup is great. :) 

 

Let us know if you have more questions. 

 

Thanks,

    Thanks JohnRo - I was looking at this again and was wondering if I needed to change on of the ASUS Routers from an access point and place it in between the CM600 and the switch.  I was reading  more on the CM600 and it looks like it is just a modem.  Any thoughts?
