Port forwarding GS308E Smart switch
If I wire my GS308E Switch stright into the back of my Netgear Nighthawk mesh router, and port forward ports on its IP, will everthing that I wire through it be port forwarded?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the LAN Switch products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Switch products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.Anything that runs on your LAN and the ruter LAN IP subnetwork, certainly yes. However, port forwarding goes to LAN IP addresses of devices, computers, IoT, ... the switch does just the L2 transport.
