    Can only access a website by direct connection to router. Not through switch

    In short, I am able to access a website when I connect my PC directly to the modem, but not when I use a switch in between. To login to that website, we need to register our IP addresses first through our HQ. We registered 3 out of 5 static IP addresses allotted by our ISP. The ISP gave us a...

    Unmanaged gigabit ethernet switch with modes

    Hi networking experts (of which I am not), TLDR: Which switch mode should I use in a mixed home network? I bought an unmanaged 16-port gigabit switch online that has no documentation. It has a three position switch labelled in Chinese which seems to mean (standard, clone, isolation). It seems...

    Managed Switches and Mesh Backha

    Is there any insight as to why the Ethernet backhaul for many mesh wifi systems cannot pass through a managed switch? I have a ZenWifi XT8, and it, along with many others, have Ethernet backhaul as an option but they must go through an unmanaged switch. I’ve read some posts referring to it...

    Does such an animal exist? Building a small office with all PoE phones and security cameras. I was hoping to do everything from the NGFW but most that I've found have a limited number of actual PoE ports. If I do get something rated as a PoE switch, am I wrong to assume that all the ports...

    Solved Can I use AIMesh with a managed switch handling the DHCP and other main network management?

    Currently, I have a number of AC68U's running my network. All run the latest version of Merlin. Router 1 handles the incoming fiber line and does the heavy lifting for the firewall, DHCP, and AiMesh master node. The other 3 act as nodes and do their thing. I would like to replace Router 1...
