Here is an example of a planned maintenance update/outage for your reference.
Hello. I have a problem with my Arris SB8200 modem. It has two ports but I am told I have to pay for a second IP address. I want to kow if I connect the GS308 switch to the SB8200 modem, can I hardwire my desktop from the switch and be able to connect my wifi Netgear R8000 router to the switch and have them both work seperately while using just one port from the SB8200 modem. I want my desktop to be ethernet hardwired while the rest of my computers connect wirelessly. Is this possible? Thanks,

Your question has nothing to do with the subject of this discussion. If you want people to help, especially the Netgear team, you would do much better e to start a question of your own.
You would also get better advice if you posted in the appropriate section, the one for the R8000 router might be best.
Your device is a Nighthawk WiFi Router.

You could also expand on what this SB8200 modem is. It isn't something that Netgear makes. Is this it?SURFboard SB8200 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem | ARRIS
If so, just plug things into the router and use its wifi at the same time.

That's what routers are for. No switch needed.
There is a manual for the R8000 somewhere at the end of this link:
