Hello,

 

Im thinking of adding a TL-SG116 switch, my current setup is ISP modem in bridged mode, Archer A10 as main router/wifi. My question is do I add the switch to the A10 or to my ISP modem, or does it matter ?

 

thx

Hello,

 

If your ISP modem is in bridge mode and the A10 acts as the main router, you need to connect the TL-SG116 to the A10 LAN port, then there will be internet access on those devices connected to the switch.

 

Good days.
