Will this work? Cable modem to Switch with ethernet cable, then Wireless Router to Switch and wireless still work.

James, That the way I am set up here. Except I go cable modem to wireless router to Switch. I get Ethernet for the desktops and wireless for the laptop._Peter

It's always best to limit the number of "connections" to get the highest speeds in your network. The better arrangement is Cable modem to wireless router and then to switch (3 deep). Don't go more than 3 deep to maintain speed. If you need more ports, get bigger switches (that have more ports). The router typically has 4-5 ports for connection to switches and PCs. The router also has a built-in firewall and sets up your internal network. Putting the switch before the router takes you out of the "internal" network and added firewall protection. It is not typically recommended unless you know what you are doing. Good luck.

it should work, if you need more port then instead of 5 port use 8 port. I have it like this---comcast to my gateway to trendnet 8 port switch to access points, then some switches to AP.

Hi James, I would connect the cable modem to the wireless router and then connect the switch to one of the outputs on the router, I think you will get better response for your wireless devices doing it this way.

Yes - I would go cable modem to wireless router then from router to switch all with an ethernet cable. This is how I have it setup on my network.

As long as you only have one router providing dhcp, yes this will allow you to add more ports to your network and still use the wireless. most installations will plug the wireless router into the cable modem and the trendnet into the wireless router. Many wireless routers will have an Internet port that plugs into your cable modem.

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, it will. Once it's connected to the existing router (as a booster/extender), you can then connect an Ethernet cable from it to another device that you would like to have internet access.

It connects via a Cat-6 network cable with an RJ45 end. Any of the ports will work. A straight-through cable will work fine. It's a switch, not a router, so you will still need a router between this and a cable modem, unless your cable modem has an integrated router. Since you mentioned both, I would suggest just hooking up a LAN FE port on your router into any one of the ports on this switch.

I have a cable internet modem and hooked up a linksys router to it. I then hooked the Ooma into one of the empty ports on the back of the wireless router. It works just fine. In either case, I think it'll work for you as long as the ethernet receptacle is hot.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

Yes this will work with Comcast's modem router combination. As long as you have a free outgoing Ethernet port from the router. Most routers have four hardliners out ports. One usually is dedicated to main computer. The tplink comes with two cat 5 Ethernet cables. One goes from router to tplink. The other will go from to link to whatever device u want to hard wire in far reach of house. I'm not using the second and simply using the WiFi. Good luck. Hope it works for u as it did for me.

I don't know about that modem/router specifically. But it should work with any number of routers. The router just sees it as another device on your network.

It should work through the wired ethernet connection. You would have to plug it into the internet or ISP connection on the router.

Yes works very. You plug in the Ethernet cable and power adpater to power and router or switch. Then run a ethernet cable to unit left side bottom i think and this powers up the unit

If the router includes more than one ethernet jack then yes. If it only has one ethernet jack, then you'd want to buy a switch or hub.

This product does not have an integrated modem, if that is your question. It will still function as router and switch if you pair it with a dedicated modem for your internet provider, but it is not an all in one gateway device for Comcast. If that is what you want try something listed on the Comcast website. http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/comcast-supported-routers-gateways-adapters/

This will work with any modem / router. Just connect this to your modem / router with an Ethernet cable and you're good to go. I use it with my Verizon Fios Wireless Router. The Verizon wireless is downstairs and this is upstairs. Having two wireless networks in the house is a blessing. If one network has heavy traffic we switch to the other.

Yes. Ethernet is a networking standard so this will work with any DSL/Cable modem. If your modem has a wireless router built in you may want your ISP to replace it with a standard modem.I am using this with an Arris TG862g. Should work fine with any SB6120, 6121, 6140, 6180 etc. If you have an SBG6580, you'll want to have it swapped for a non-wireless modem.Source: I worked for a cable company.

please let us know if it works out. i need to get an ethernet adapter too.Thanks.

As far as I know, it should. Just run a hard line from the primary router to one of the LAN ports on this unit. Also make sure to shut off DHCP and set the ip address of the unit manually. Also setting the units to use different channels will make using your devices a bit easier. If you're setting this up at home, consider unchecking ip isolation on both units. That shoud get you done.
