Hi all!
I am purchasing an ethernet switch as I have too many wired devices to connect to SuperHub 3 and wanted some advice.

Im not an expert on networking, but am fluent in PC & networking speak.

What I wanted to know is; can I still use said SHub3's WiFi or do I have to put the Hub in modem mode?

I have a plug in wireless access point, but it is only a cheapo N rated, but ideally I need AC wireless..

So can I set the switch to use a fixed IP address and use the switch's DHCP IP range just for the wired side, and use the Shub's DHCP IP range?

Thanks in advance for listening :-)
