Can this switcher be plug and play rather than going through all the settings as because I have no experience in networking

Yes. Its plug and play if you have all the lines set up. I used an electrician for my phone and data install and had him punch everything down, then I just plugged in all the lines I wanted. Easy.

This switch requires some config as any device for security reason. However the device is pretty much plug and play, i recommend going through the tutorial for common network practices for proper security

Yes it can, provided that you don't need any of the functions that would require a "managed" configuration. As long as the price makes sense to you, this switch could allow for further functionality if you need grow over time.

I have not tried this myself, but you may also want to look at powerline network adapters.

I have not actually attempted this, but my feeling is that you could do this. By default, the first interface is the 'WAN' port and the other four are basically slaved to the switch chip inside. The wireless interface (wlan1) is bridged to the master port on the switch chip, ether2. As I've said before, these are quite capable little devices; but the documentation on them is terrible.

I am certain that you can, since the switch is merely directing the connection, but I prefer the other way around. Everything in my home is on the same subnet, and I pre-wired my house for ethernet in every room. I ran the modem to the router, and a port on the router to the switch. From there, every bedroom, living room and kitchen were connected at a central point.

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

Yes as this is an unmanaged switch just think of it as an ethernet splitter

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.

Yes, you need to know how to do it manually because the Wizard won't have that as an option, but Yes each port can be configured however you want.

Yes it is. I have installed over a 100 of these units without any problems. You should have 4 switchable POE ports and one non-POE port for up link to your network. Make sure all switches are in the power on mode for each port and you should be good to go. If not, request a return for new product.

No, it's a switch. You will need the EdgeRouter: http://www.amazon.com/EdgeRouter-ERLite-3-512MB-Ethernet-Router/dp/B00CPRVF5K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390780102&sr=8-2&keywords=edgerouter or http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-ERPOE-5-EdgeRouter-Adapter/dp/B00E77N3WE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390780102&sr=8-1&keywords=edgerouter

Yes, it can be connected to either a switch or router port as long as it is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) port. In fact, in my house I have AP321's deployed in each case to Cisco layer2 switch and a Cisco ISR router.

Yes. Just don't plug it up to a switch on the network or else you'll have an additional IP to worry about.

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.

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.

Hi Stan. We agree to the other users. This is a wired switch and you can add this to your network if you want to have more wired devices.

No, it's a splitter. You should get the switch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1V071E

Yes. The switch is plug and play out of the box - in my case it was "wire the Comcast modem to the Barracuda VPN and then wire the VPN to the switch"... No config necessary on the switch side - just on the VPN, as expected.
