R7800 customer query and introduction
Hello All, Firstly I would just like to say I think the R7800 is a fantastic product. Only downside to me is the UI is a bit slow. I was always a netgear customer in the past not only in my w...
Hi MasterOfArts,
Yes, you can still use the other ports of the router.
Oh I forgot to mention that I am using two NETGEAR ProSAFE 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switches (GS108). I have used TPLink switches in the past without any problems. I bought the NETGEAR switches because I got them on NewEgg during a sale where they were half price. The NETGEAR switches have much better specs.
I also have started using CAT7 cables. They are over kill but they aren't very much more money. The more devices that are hard wired the better the performance of your wireless network.
It looks like NewEgg has the switch on sale again. Better price than Amazon and no tax but limit to one per customer. Maybe one for you and another for the wife if you need two.

Problem is bud im in Scotland , dont think they post to me.
Im looking for a wee black one say with 5 or 8 ports.
When I plug the switch in to router can I still use the rest of the ethernet ports on the router along with the switches ports?
