Powerline 1000
Can you connect a Netgear Powerline 1000 to a Netgear ProSafe Gigabit Switch instead of your router? My ports on my router are completely full...
Thank you for your response! Does the Switch with the Powerline 1000 have to be in close proximity of the Router? My router is in a bedroom closet and the switch is across the house plugged into an ethernet port in my office.

the powerline just needs ethernet access to the router/switch. Doesn't matter if its going through a switch to get there. I've even ran
router-->switch-->switch-->powerline-->powerline-->switch. It ran fine.
