Netgear MR60 in Access Point Mode - use the same network switch for LAN and Internet?
If you're using the MR60 in Access Point Mode, the "internet" port should be plugged into the main house switch that has access to the main router. Let's say that the main house switch that is a 16 port switch. Do you then need to have a small isolated 5-port network switch for the backhaul of the satellites where the MR60's "ethernet" port goes to? Or can you plug the all the satellites into the same big 16-port network switch, and have both the "internet" and "ethernet" on the MR60 plugged into the same 16-port switch?!
There's something that seems bad about plugging both ports into the same switch, but I don't know.

It should go from your device supplying internet to wan port on the router. So whatever is supplying the switch, instead of plugging it into the switch, plug it into the wan port on the MR60. Then use the lan port on the MR60 to plug into the switch. Then the switch can feed the satellites.
