Re: [Wired] using a BEFW11S4 as a switch

NOOOOOO

Simply plug a straight cable from one of the lan ports on your main router to one of the lan ports on the BEFW11S4.

You want a switch/hub - not a router...... You may want to assign the BEFW a static IP that does not conflict with your network so You can access the web gui.

If I remember correctly a limitation of the BEFW is the ethernet interfaces are 10Meg - not 10/100.

For less than 10$ you can buy a 10/100 switch new. I have an 8 port I paid $15 for. Much better solution that the old BEFW......
