Connection Sequence for A NIghthawk RX200 AX11000 Router and a Netgear GS752TOv2 Managed Switch

Freinds,

 

I am in the process of upgrading my office network at home.  I just installed a new AT&T Business Fiber connection with a 1Gb/1Gb connection and want to distribute as much bandwidth as possible to my internal network.  AT&T gave me a BGW320-505 modem with one 5Gb and three 1Gb etthernet ports out and a plugged port called an (ONT?).  The AT&T modem has a fairly robust wireless signal.

 

To give the family, who are involved in a number of enterprises, the best WiFi access available I picked up a NightHawk RX200 - AX11000 wireless router and intend to connet a GS752TPv2 to it.  My thought was to connect the RX200 to the Fiber modem via the 5Gb port, and then using the multi-Gig output to the GS752TPv2 via a 10Gb transceiver on one of the 4 SFP ports.  Or should it be the other way around; the swith to the modem and then the router to the switch?  Any advice you can provide will be helpful.

  • I think Amazon may be distributing bogus product.  I purchased the RX 200 from Amazon, along with a number of other components.  I just had to send the RX 200 back because the radio would not power up.  I should have realized there was a problem with I pulled the unit out of the box and there was no QR code.  All of the instructions call for a QR code on the product but none were to be found.  After spending 4 hours trying to trouble shoot the unit I gave up, sent it back.  Very dissapointed.
