You can put a switch after the modem if your modem is a wireless gateway (modem & wireless router) you rent from your ISP, or if you're running pfsense on a system with only one ethernet port and you have a VLAN capable switch.

My wifi router is upstairs but my modum and pc are both downstairs, and I wanted to get an ethernet connection to my pc. So I bought a switch and plugged my computer, wifi router, and modum through the switch. It actually worked fine, and technically hasn't broken yet, but my isp called and said that they were going to start only issuing 1 ip per customer in a week or so and I needed to stop sending 2 ip addressed through the modum. I told them my setup and they explained why it wouldnt work, but they only talked about sending the 2 addresses, so from the way they explained it, I thought I could just get my router to have the same ip as the switch and everything would be fixed. so i tried for DAYS to do something like that, breaking my router and having to factory reset it a few times, and basically nothing on the internet would help me. I finally found this video and while i am very mad about the time I wasted, I'm very greatful you prevented me from wasting even more time, and possibly getting hacked because of my unsafe connection, so absolutely huge thanks to you

@smileynetsmileynet7922 2 года назад

At my last job, we were dividing our networks into 2 sections. We ended up connecting lan port of all in one to switch, then 2 routers wan ports into switch. It worked just fine.

@UltimateTechHub 2 года назад

An all in one is a router modem combo. That would work fine. A stand alone modem to a switch would only allow 1 IP address to your network so only 1 port would work. You can also set up multpe routers on 1 network and I have a video on that setup process.

@smileynetsmileynet7922 2 года назад

@@UltimateTechHub I knew this. Just wanted to share setup of similar network. It was actually splitting the network into 2 networks. Every device could still get ip addresses.

@BioCorrosiveGaming 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip! I was about to waste my money on a switch if it weren't for your video. But could you help me recommend the setup I'm trying to go for? I'm In a house that needs multiple connectivity in different rooms. I have changed one of my satellite lines with an Ethernet port, but I could only fit one Ethernet within the tube of my power lines, so I was thinking to put a switch between the modem and multiple routers, but from what I gathered from your video it won't work. So would I be able to do it with the modem connected to a router and then from that router connected multiple other routers, without witnessing any major speed impact? Or do you have any other recommendations? thanks a bunch❤

@dashdigital5869 3 года назад

i have a modem/router combo from my ISP. it has 4 ethernet ports but they're all being used. i wanted to see if i could buy a small 4 port switch to connect to my modem/router. would there be a security/networking issue doing that?

@aurvaroy6670 3 года назад

Yes you can. There should be no problem with that. I've done the same thing before I bought my own modem, although I used an 8 port switch since I needed more connections. Apologize if you had to wait 7 months for an answer. BTW, never heard of a 4 port switch. Are you sure your switch has only 4 ports or are just excluding the uplink port?

@AMDG. 9 месяцев назад

Please help. I just bought a MagicJack (VOIP) so I can have a "house phone", but the EERO router that came with my internet only has two ports that are already used in order to establish internet. What am I to do, if a switch is not recommended? I am not tech savvy, and still get confused with modem vs. router, I am a millenial.

@thegoldenwolf274 3 года назад

Also,. I did a port scan on my computer hooked up through the managed switch and all my ports came up as closed.

WE have a modem/router (in one) provided by our ISP but the wi-fi connection is really bad, so I purchased a gaming wifi 6 router. I would also like to buy a switch panel but I really don't know which switch to buy (managed or unmanaged) or do I really need it for home network set up? Thanks!

@UltimateTechHub 3 года назад

I would ask your ISP to swap out the modem router combo for just a modem. Then connect your WIFI 6 Router to the modem. Then you can get a unmanaged switch which is easy to set up. Basically its a plug and play. And plug that switch into your new router. I would get a 10 port TP-Link unmanaged switch that would give you plenty of network ports. Here is the video I have for that switch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yEpeQs9nXHs.html Thanks for watching! :-)

Hey, so we have internal wiring made in our apartment with CAT6 cables and we have two separate switches in our ground floor that are connected to the two modems provided by the two different ISPs in our area. In each flat, separate routers are connected with the switches from the ground floor through the CAT6. We are using internet till now. But is this a sustainable solution? There are occasional disruptions caused in the internet in our flat. Is this due to a cheap non-branded switch connected to the modem or is it because of the thing you mentioned?

@UltimateTechHub 3 года назад

Well if you have switches connected to a modem that would cause the disruptions for sure. Buy a router and connect to the modem then connect the switch to the router and this will fix the disruptions. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well.

@riftvalley1765 Год назад

I don't know if I can buy this because I have a 16 port switch that is directly connected to my office router and both channel WiFi has been working flawlessly probably because the switch itself is getting data from another router so once it pass through a router it does work on other routers.

@UltimateTechHub Год назад

Yes the switch is connected to the router which works but a switch connected to a modem and then a router does not work. You will only get 1 IP address for your entire network. A switch cannot preform DHCP or NAT which is what gives you a large pool of IP addresses for your entire home network. Thank you for watching!

My home has 21 ethernet cables, collected in the basement and running into individual rooms. I currently have my modem in the basement running to my router on the first floor. I want my router to remain on the first floor for better wifi coverage. How do I connect my switch in the basement (to the remaining 20 cables), yet leave my router upstairs (do I need a second router in this case)?

@UltimateTechHub 2 года назад

No, you need a ethernet cable from the routers LAN port to this switch in the basement. The switch can be a 24 port Layer 3 switch which is recommended for port security and vlans.

Damn I have a question, I actually did this without knowing. And for a month the switch to the modem was working great on both my ps4 and my wifi, but then suddenly the switch was only able to pick up one IP address like you said, this video freaked me out a little bit. Should I be worried about internet attackers?

@UltimateTechHub 3 года назад

Yes you need to swap the switch with the router. This way you get the entire pool of IP addresses on your switch and of course the router firewalls will protect you from hackers. Its a simple fix. Thanks for watching and keep me posted!

Hello I have a problem with my setup I have a modem (ISP) connected to a router then linked to my 5 port switch (2 for other route) then the switch is also connected to another 16 port switch to distribute connection to multiple other routers. each router has different IP addresses. the issue is sometimes the it works and most of the time having a problem not having a network connection after the 16 port switch. TIA.

@UltimateTechHub 2 года назад

You should never connect a router to a switch. Routers preform DHCP to get IP addresses. A switch doesn't preform DHCP. So when a router connects to a switch it only gets 1 IP address so when 2 people try to connect to the router only 1 can get a network connection. You need to connect the 2nd router to the first router. I have a video on how to set this up. Is there a reason you need more than 1 router?

The ISP modem does not have a firewall. The switch does not have a firewall. The router has the firewall.

The switch cannot preform DHCP.
