Re: Netgear 8 port switch help

You will then have 7 more ports (on the switch) you can use.

Switches dont have (or need) IP addresses.
(Unless its an expensive one with remote management functionality, which you dont need).
So to get this right, I can use the SuperHub 3 in Router Mode for the Wifi AND connect a patch cable from the superhub to the switch and use the switch to manage the wired connections?
The switch I am going for is the Netgear GS108UK 8 port gigabit switch.
I may have to tinker a bit as a few of my devices have a static (and reserved in Shub) IP and would like this to stay the same too if possible.

Thanks for your reply Paul :-)
