Connecting a RAX120 to the modem via ethernet switch
I had posted this question in, it appears, the wrong forum. It was suggested that I move it here. I need to move my router and a couple of router connected devices to a shelf some distance away. ...
Thanks to all who replied with various solutions to my issue. In the end, I decided to try the powerline device. I'm not in a high interference area and power is rather stable so went that way for now. I've been up and running for about a week now with no issues that I've noticed.
That said, I'll keep the EdgeRouter X/DMZ configuration in mind if this doesn't work out in the long run.
If you use this configuration:
Modem --> EdgeRouter --> switch --> (existing cable) --> RAX 120
You'll be in double NAT condition, which isn't recommended, however to elleaviate this condition, use the EdgeRouters DMZ for the RAX in router mode if you want to use router mode.

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
