NETGEAR ProSAFE GS116NA
I purchased NETGEAR ProSAFE GS116NA from Amazon.. The Cable company installed an ARRIS DG2470 Touchstone Gateway with 4 ports. When I connect my unmanaged switch to the Gateway from the Cable company I lose all internet connectiviy from the Wireless and Ethernet. is there a specfic port that I need to connect to on the ARRIS or my Netgear switch? I'm stummped.. is the switch compatible to the gateway?

Are you using the correct cable?
The user guide states you need a cross-over cable when connecting to a hub (page 33):
Hope this helps
For a managed switch I would agree that you need a crossover. But this one is unmanaged so my thought was it would act as a pass through.
I'll try it and see what happens
- Yeah I have no knowledge of the Arris gateway but thought it might be worth a try
