Can I use this with an Ethernet switch on one end so devices on the switch get DHCP from the router on the other end?

you need one of this adapters on each side, and it works transforming Ethernet into coax and coax back to Ethernet, so yes if you have a adapter on each side, one on the router and the other on the switch you will be able to get DHCP on the devices.

This device allows the use of ip over coaxial cable thus you can connect an ethernet switch to this device on one end and directly to your router at the other end and have the router supply DHCP control over the ethernet awitch ports.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. Many devices plugged into the switch, switch plugged into the MoCA adapter. On the other end is another MoCA adapter plugged into the router.

Hello! Yes they will work with a dhcp router. You only need to run the software to adapt the points and configure them. After that, you can shut it down.

Yes it would work if you ran a Cat 5 ethernet cable from your router to the 5 port switch and then attached your devices to the switch using some more ethernet cables. However, have you thought of getting a wifi extender instead to get the signal to your bedroom. I also have a Netgear Universal Range Extender and that works great to get a strong signal all over my house.

YES! This isn't a SPLITTER, this devices allows you to use all 4 pairs of wire in a CAT-5 cable to enable two ethernet ports. You need TWO devices per cable run. One on each end. 2 wires go to this device then to one wire. Then at the other end one wire goes to this device and two cables go out to your router/switch. Simple.

I connected my wireless router to the last port on the right, but I don't think it matters which port you use since the switch is a plug n play device. It will automatically configure the settings for you.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

I wouldn't think so, it likely uses a proprietary encoding over the Ethernet cable and wouldn't get a ip address or obey the other protocols required to function over a network router/switch.

Sorry, but this switch is part of your home network. As long as your router is secured properly it is as secure as your remaining home network.

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

No, unless you have (1) a router that can generate two free LAN lines that can be fed to the other end of the Ethernet jack, and (2) cable wiring that is CAT5 or newer (true for all new homes/installations). A cheaper solution might be to use a switch such as TRENDnet TE100-S5 5-Port Ethernet Switch (5 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX RJ-45 Ports) that costs only $11.99 and will give you 4 ports instead of two.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

You may use crossover cable to connect it to another switch. All the ports in the switch have the capability to determine what kind of cable is connected to it but it is recommended to use at least CAT5 type of Ethernet cable.

yes, there is one ethernet port on the device for putting it on your network. the wifi access point needs to be connected to some other switch or router that's already on the network.

Yes. But why not connect your router to your modem, and the switch to the router?

Yes, you can place the switch in that position. But know that if you do, you are creating a DMZ area that is outside of your routed space. In other words, any devices you attach to the switch in this configuration (not below the router) will get their service from the modem, not the router. This will be ok if your ISP is willing for you to get more than a single DHCP (IP Address). It is far more common to place the switch after the router where the router can NAT all traffic into a single IP address.

It's a switch not a router. You would have the line coming from your cable/dsl modem go to a router then it would go to the switch. The router handles the natting and the dhcp. If you cable/dsl modem is also a router then you can connect it directly to this for more wired connections.

Yes you connect a cable from your router to any port on the 5 port switch and it acts like a splitter for the internet, then you can connect other devices to the 5 port switch and have internet access.
