You’re a remarkable person, Liron. Good to have you here in the YT app , now we know where to go with our trivial questions about the Internet and all other digital devices. Thank you for your kindness and the efforts you make. Stay safe, healthy, strong, happy and blessed, brother 💖 🍀❣️
I have a switch. It's a five port switch. I have two devices plugged into that. And I have one device plugged right into my router. Works like a charm.
Got a used switch cheap (TP Link TL-2008) when I needed more ports than the 4 provided by our Portal router. I have a NAS, an Apple TV, an external HD, and the switch connected to the router. In turn, I have several home systems hubs connected to the switch. I have temporarily removed the switch from the wiring closet and am using it to temporarily connect two Ethernet segments that were each too short to reach a desired destination. I only recently learned that this was practical, but it works perfectly.
with my network, i bought everything separately first the cable then passthrough rj45's and keystone couplers. i just plugged everything directly into the router and made a patch lead for my wifes computer with the left over cable. then i moved everything down into the lower cabinet and bought a 16 port switch. then i bought a second wifi router. then more cable to make more runs. then i got a 2u rack and a keystone patch panel and populated it with couplers. took me a year to do all that but it worked out nicely. initially it took me 2 months to get the first cable runs crimped properly and working but it works great now and i am satisfied with the results.
1 I Mac, ! MacBook Pro ! windows laptop and one windows desk top all connected with ethernet and a gigabit switch . every thing works awesome .great video, keep them comming ,
"It just works"... Well, not always. When I invested in an 8-port gigabit switch, I got one with all ports being PoE. Long story short, I had to place a standard switch between it and my stationary PC, as the Asus Prime Z370-A does NOT like PoE. And as the switch is unmanaged, I have no way of disabling PoE for the port for the stationary PC. So even if you need PoE, get one with at least a couple of standard ports.
Great video, I have an Asus 4 port router, 1. Roku, 2. Marantz AVR, 3. Sony TV, 4. Desktop computer. Here's the problem, just upgraded Ring.com cam to a POE cam. Looking at Amazon some POE switches say auto-detect to protect non-POE equipment. Thanks!
@Liron Segev - hey there!! Long time no comment!! 😆 This video raises yet another question for me. About 1 year ago I purchased a TOSLINK “UNMANAGED” 5-port (4+1) switch that was advertised as “plug n play” yet was confused as to why the install guide advised me to LOGIN to it and configure some settings... Perhaps I don’t understand the whole “managed/unmanaged” thing, but I knew I wanted to be able to split my gigabit FiOS line at my workspace without having the router right beside me boiling my brain cells AND I was hoping to engage in some of the MANY MANY security enhancements that experienced users can achieve with a simple switch like this which I see all over UA-cam.... Sadly, I’ve accomplished nothing else but turning 1 line out into 4 and the most useful setting I could identify was perhaps the ability to control the speeds on each port... I BELIEVE I saw an option somewhere that allows data packet recording on a certain port and I also believe one of the “security” enhancements I’m thinking of had something to do with running a raspberry Pi (can’t recall nickname) that basically acts as a full time shield against all ads and breaches A few other ideas I recall were: 1. something about creating a private homemade VPN, 2. Doubling the ports used into your primary work device for some reason? Maybe for streaming? Maybe for one of the above?? Ugh.. This was an excitement that died very quickly and I don’t get why this is so overwhelming to me.
Hi Sir. I am moving to Portugal and won't to have 3 TV's in my TV Room. They are smart tv's. So, my question is..... Do, I need this box or should I just connect all my tv's wireless?
I have a 6 port gigabit switch to which I have attached 1 DVR for my security system, 3 desktop computers, 1 NAS and and a meshnet network. I am planning in on installing a 16 port POE switch and upgrading my home security with 8 POE cameras, attach 3 desktop computers and 3 ethernet wall ports of kids laptop's.
IP phone TV streaming Filegear archives NAS Remote lan extender for streaming device in main room Security camera Sonos I have an 8 port TLink unmanaged GB switch... To be honest, I haven't even thought about it in years. It just works.
Each room of my house is wired with an ethernet cable outlet. I currently have 4 rooms plugged into my wireless router. In the family room, I have a 4-port switch that connects to the room's ethernet cable outlet, and that leaves 3 open ports for the xbox, tv and roku device.
what if i don't want my router next to the modem? I want my router at the wall where my cable comes in but I want my router centrally located in my house. Can I run a ethernet from the modem to a switch and then my router to the switch in the centrally located area. I'm obviously not tech savvy so I hope i'm explaining this ok.
Im curious. I have a gig switch, and was wondering if I have 8 things plugged into it, is the data across the network being diluted by 8? Ultimately slowing data travel,? Or is the data traveling at the highest level for all 8 connections?
The internet coming in will be split between the connected devices based on the traffic they require at the time. If all 8 devices are trying to download torrents at the same time you won't get full internet speed on each of those devices.
...you skipped passive and active. PoE switches don't amplify so you can't use them as an extender. I have several switches and hubs but I rarely use them for residential. Most of the "new" stuff is wireless like smart TV's and game consoles. I generally simplify network traffic: Hub: in on one port and out on all the others. Switch: in on one port and out to only the port the data is addressed to.
Hi, just bought a Tablo DVR. I want to hardwire but of course I am lacking a port on my very old Apple Extreme router. I'm sure the ethernet cable that came with the Tablo as well as the Tablo itself isn't a high end device. I'd like to buy a small 3 or 4 port unmanned ethernet switch. If I buy a gigabit switch, would you agree it should be compatible to connect with the Tablo?
No. You have to plug the router into the modem and the network switch into the router. The reason is that in order to go online, your devices need a public IP address. Most internet providers will only give you 1 public IP which would be to the first device connected. So if you have 5 computers plugged into the network switch, only 1 of them will get a public IP and be able to go on the internet. The router is what allows you to share a single public IP with multiple devices in your home network.
Hi.. I have 4 asus ac310 router connected in different areas by using network switch of the house ans still find the connection is very slow and cant connect. We get 800mbs by land cables when tested using laptop by isp provide but wifi connection is quite bad.. The. Housr is 2.5story
Well.. I have 2 x 24 port POE Gb Switches--and ive run out of open ports. POE cameras, NVR, POE blinds, doorbells, POE touchscreens, 3 TVs, Nvidia Shields, Xbox, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, NAS, Gaming PC, Plex Server PC, Macbooks all hardwired...and Muliple WAPs for tablets phones, Google Hubs etc.. sigh.
My home is set up with eithernet all through my house. I use a gig switch at almost everywhere I have an open ethernet outlet. All of those connect to my gig gateway. I have two extenders connected to those switches. I wonder if I'm maximizing my internet.
I have 3 going into my modem and one being an xbox that tells me it's not connected and takes a lot of restarts to get it to recognise the connection lol
I might be late to the party but if I’m this using my lan connection on my ps5 do I need a Ethernet switch my setup is one monitor,one modem,five Ethernet cables and one ps5 any help will be greatly appreciated
What your guys think? I am planning on running cat 6 cables through my attic I live in florida, my plan is two get one ethernet cable in each room and if I need more connections is it advisable to use a switch let's say in one of the room? Instead of having the switch near the modem?
I found an old switch in a jumble sale, I wanted it to spread internet to the upper floors as wifi was poor there, I had 100Mb/sec going into the switch but only 3Mb/sec coming out of each 4 ports. Is this normal?
Liron, I just got finished installing a tp link 8 port managed switch. I have a NAS attached and set that to the highest output along with the internet port. Can you stack switches?
Liron, my old, presently unused router is an Almond, which as you know has its interface built into the front screen rather than using a browser. Now I have an Eero Mesh system with a Switch between my ISP modem and the main Eero. I am wondering if I can still use my Almond as a 2nd router with a different ID by just plugging it into the Switch, so I can move some of my automation devices off the main wifi? Is that possible? If so, will it work if I just plug it in and set it up as a separate network? If not, how would I set it up?
@@LironSegev thanks liron... from a 60 year. first programming done with Punch cards in 1978. became a Novel Netware Network supervisor in 1985. thank you for your videos.... I can't keep up with the tech changes anymore... so you keep me current.
@@LironSegev I still remember having to reload the system: frickin' 35 3.5" "floppys, one at a time. our server was a IBM PC the 30 MB hard drive, I think was about $750 (the drive itself). then we moved to IBM XT, then ATs the the PS2.... days gone by. I'm still in awe of todays tech. an micro SD drive with 128 GB. wow.
No, you still get the 2mb. Think of it being able to support UP TO gigabit speed. As he explained, your provider controls the speed, the device ensures you get the max speed allowed up to 1 gigabit.
PoE switches should be literally the standard and so should managed switches. There is literally no reason we should be paying more for PoE and managed switches.
Bro! if I dont have a power outlet nearby it wont work right? I thought it would just power on with the ethernet cable coming from the Linksys Wi Fi router all the way to the Ethernet Gigabit Switch either Netgear or TP Link brand
why is it that when my computer is connected to the router I get speeds of over 900 Mbps when I check with the speed tester, and after I plug it into the 8 port Gigabit switch the speed drops below 100 Mbps? is there a way to increase this? the switch seems to be the bottleneck for any speed after it. I have tried another different brand one and the same thing happens.
The problem is obviously the switch since you are getting the full speed without it. If its 100, it may be that the switch isn't a Gigabit switch? If you tried other brands, then I wonder if you have something really hammering your network from another device that goes via that switch? you might want to disconnect all the other LAN cables and just have your computer to the switch to the same port in the router where you get the 900Mbps.
More like power strips. You can plug multiple things into power using only 1 power outlet on the wall. That's a very basic overview. There's more going on, but that's probably the easiest way you can explain it to non-tech savvy people.
I have a Netgear 8 port switch. I have 1Gig service, but I have an issue. When I perform a port speed test from the router/fiber modem, it states that I am getting about 958Mbits.(I understand that there are framing bits) From the Netgear unmanaged switch( using 60-80 feet of Cat6 wiring end to end) I am only getting 94Mbits. If I go wifi, I get 650Mbits. The router/modem is upstairs so there is probably interference and getting the full 950Mbits might be a pipe dream. I expected, however, to get much better speeds from my switch. What do you think?
Verify if your switch supports 1000 Mbps. I had the same issue ( 100ft Cat 6 ethernet). My switch only supported 100 Mbps, so that is what I was getting. I purchased another Netgear switch that supports 1000 Mbps and the problem is resolved.
@@padgettga To my knowledge all ethernet switches have a power cable that needs to be plugged into a power outlet I'm partial to Trendnet ethernet switches myself
@@arrongamez1388 sorry you missed the point. Wifi connects to the network. If you network is slow it bottlenecks and doesn't matter how fast the wifi is, you aren't going to get the speed
@LironSegev yes of course but the title says "home wifi network", its not for a WiFi network its for the network in general. I get your point but you can't put wifi in the title and not talk about wifi.

I've got a gig network switch that I haven't used for years just lying in my computer box in the garage. Good to know that I can use it if required.
I really like how you simplify things in your explanations. Is there a distance requirement, min/max, that a switch should be from the router?
Since it's connected with a Lan ethernet cable, it will be the distance of the cable. Cat 6 cable can be 100meters for example
awesome Liron, your videos educate me immensely ❤

What is watts used for in a switch? I see/hear 50w, 70w, 150w Why?
It's the MAX the switch will handle. If you buy a 150w POE switch you can put more equipment (IP camera's, AP's etc.) than if you bought a 50w switch.

The title is misleading, it says the phrase "home wifi" even though the video has nothing to do with WiFi.
Eh...what? Did you even watch the video?
@LironSegev yes I did and it talks about different network switches, network switches have nothing to do with wifi
@@arrongamez1388 sorry you missed the point. Wifi connects to the network. If you network is slow it bottlenecks and doesn't matter how fast the wifi is, you aren't going to get the speed
@LironSegev yes of course but the title says "home wifi network", its not for a WiFi network its for the network in general. I get your point but you can't put wifi in the title and not talk about wifi.
