This is not likely to be an issue due to MDI-X support, cossover cables are now mostly non existant due to this.. note that only one connected device needs to support this and in my case the switch I use does... I don't know whether the Nighthawk supports MDI-X, but I would be surprised if it did not.

Hi, Well MDI-X is available in the switches I configure at work such as Cisco, however I am not so sure that it is available in SOHO devices such as the nighthawk M1. Yes, just one device supporting MDI-X should be all that is required. So I assume your switch works ok when plugged into the Nighthawk M1? What brand/model of switch are you using if you don't mind me asking?

I have a couple of options, both a Netgear Pro Series switch and a Ubiquiti POE switch which is the one I would prefer to be using... I have not had time to go back and get this sorted, hopefully over the weekend :)

I checked and POE switches will not work with the M1.
