connecting a switch

Since this onlyhas one port, do I connect a switch to the modem? or do I let the modem find the wireless router wirelessly, and then conect the switch to the rouoter?

  • What device are you talking about? you didn't put any models or anything for us to help with. so all we can give you is generals.

     

    If its a modem only, it needs to go:

    modem------->router------->switch

     

    if its a modem/router combo device, then you can put a switch directly connected. 

     

    you can go to netgear.com/support/  and type in your  model. it'll take you to install guides, manuals, etc.
