Connect D112A to a Netgear switch

I have a Netgear FS108 switch that I used to use with a Netgear DG834Gv3 to give extra ports.

I no longer have access to ADSL so I cannot connect this way.

I now use mobile broadband with an Aircard 810S in a DC112A Smart Cradle.  This gives me 4 ethernet ports, but I 3 need more.

I cannot get the FS108 to work with the DC112A.

Question 1:  Can I use the FS108 with the DC112A?  If so, how?

Question 2:  If the FS108 cannot work with the DC112A, how can I get the extra ports that I need?

With thanks, Peter.

Hello Padrepedro

 

You should be able to connect any switch to the DC112A nothing should be preventing this from working.

Thanks, DarrenM.

I have reserved IP addresses by MAC address for my printers and computers in the DC112A.

When I connect them to my FS108 (and the FS108 to the DC112A) only some of the devices show up as Attached Devices, yet I can ping them all - including those not showing up as attached.

Why can I not see all of the attached devices in the Attached Devices list, as I would expect?

Cheers,

PadrePedro
