It doesn't want you to plug it into a spare port on a router, that would be fine. The instructions tell you that all your kit needs to sit behind it too.

Shame, it looks like good kit. (an ALIX box, probably a 2D1 board and whatever mini-PCI Wireless card they bought).

Assuming it is a 2D1, the network ports will all be 10/100 too (even better reason not to use it).

From the Instructions.

"6. Disconnect any other wired network devices from your router. Plug them into the 2 spare ports on the rear of the performance monitoring unit and restart those devices."

So if you have a 10/100 router and are only using 2 ports on it, then it would probably have no impact whatsoever.
