GS316 Setup -- Possible to have Router downstream?

We're remodeling our house and have put in a home run in our new utility room (in the basement of our 2 story house).  Here I have my Spectrum PC15 Cable Modem which then connects to my GS316 switch....

    Janglor,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    I'm afraid that the only way is to properly set it up.  The proper order of the connection of your network devices should be: SpectrumPC15--R6400--GS316.

     

    Since you need WiFi coverage in the living room, I suggest you to deploy an Access Point to the proper network setup I mentioned.  For the Access Point, I recommend you either the WAC505 or WAC510.  The proper order of the connection of your network devices would be as shown below:

     

     

    To know more about the specifications of the WAC505 / WAC510, kindly check its data sheet here

     

     

    Regards,
