You cannot use this directly between your modem and your other devices (guessing that is how you hooked it up) you must use a router in between so it would be Modem -> Router -> Switch. Hooked together in that order.

The first port has to be the one feeding the system the internet, then port 2 for the first computer and the third port for the 2nd pc.

This is an "unmanaged" switch so each desktop you wire into this switch will each get their own fair share of the upstream bandwidth depending on what each Desktop is doing. To do Quality of Service (QoS) which is what you are asking about you'll need a more advanced "managed" switch (or router/switch) that costs quite a bit more money and allows you to limit a given port's bandwidth.

Level 3 Netgear support team (engineer) told me that I cannot use the 2 ethernet ports at the same time !!!

You have to get an ethernet adapter and plug it to the modem on the back of your internet connection.

I'm sorry, I can't help you ... I purchased mine to be able to have WiFi access when I rearranged the furniture in my room and couldn't have direct access to my internet cable. I haven't had any problems with it.

Yes. Just make sure tge first cable you unplug is on the PC end and not your modem side to ensure you are getting the correct network settings

The modem & router are on the middle level. the net gear is plugged into an outlet on the lower level totally away from the modem. It works all thru the house even in our loft. almost always get 5 bars never less then 3 and that's only for a few minutes. Which is a GREAT improvement!!

The connection is probably not full, meaning it is not all connected. You could try that but idk, its worth a try

It has 5 ethernet hookups & one dsl, as far as hooking up to dsl, I don't know why it wouldn't.

I agree with W.Beckles. Note: check your N router, also, some only work well withWindows 7

It works fine for me. It's mostly your internet modem/router. I occasionally have this problem where my internet would randomly cut off at one point while still being connected and I'd have to refresh the page when watching YouTube videos but it's ambiguous whether it's the Ethernet cable or the ISP itself.

You will have no problem accessing the internet with this computer. I have been VERY pleased with every rebuilt or refurbished desktop computer purchased from Amazon sellers. In fact, one of the computers needed around 49 Microsoft updates and it took no time at all to accomplish this task. -Mark-

I agree with Amanda's comment. Ethernet cable from router to computer is only for the initial set-up.

it only has one you'll have to hook it up to another router for more ports.

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

I wudnt think it wud matter because ur computer will pick up any surrounding access and as usual, u wud just have to pick which one you wanna connect to. I'm not sure if you can have more than one on a particular acct or not. You wud have to ask ur phone carrier that question. I hope this helps.

You're looking for an access point. Out of the box this NIC (network interface card) was not meant to be an access point. That being said you could most likely turn your desktop into an access point broadcasting out of this NIC - do some searching / reading on turning your desktop into an access point. good luck

Yes. By trying to use both you are creating an Ethernet loop. Ethernet is a point to point technology. Your router sees the same MAC address on two different links
