Configuration

The switch is unmanaged, so the setup is fairly straightforward. Regardless it still has some requirements that can cause pitfalls because of the way I have my network set up.

• SmartRG Modem/Router is being used as dumb modem
• RT-N66U is being used as both nameserver and Wireless Router
• Switch is being used for all local wired connections

NOTE:

This switch is not stackable - daisy chaining additional switches will cause performance issues
