Thank you, Stephen. I connected the router to the satellite, and the satellite to the switch. The LG TV and MRX-5 were left connected to the switch. The connection immediately showed a 2500m connection. I will monitor it for the next few days to see if it drops.

      I presume the 4 item On/OFF switches are all in the OFF position on this switch?
