Hi, sorry, my mistake. not too knowledgeable in this area

I should have mentioned that there is a Touchstone DG2470 Data Gateway downstairs that connects to the Moca Bridge (2 Ethernet ports) upstairs via coaxial for cable TV & Internet. I connect from the Moca using 1 port to the Netgear and from Netgear (4 ports) Computer (2), Laptop, etc.

 

thanks

you should be able to use a switch without issues. its a pretty simple unmanaged switch and you'd be running a gateway.

      are you planning on using any of the smarter features of the GS308e? If not, I'd go with the simple unmanaged version. 

      Less things to mess up :)
