Ethernet switch with router

2023-02-19 07:50:01

Model: TL-WR902AC

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version:

So here is my question....

In Las Vegas, you are charged after the 1st 2 devices connect to the hotel WIFI. My thought was to take an ethernet 5 port switch, connect the switch, via the ethernet port I am sure they have in the room. Then connect the travel router into the switch. Then connect all my wireless devices to the travel router.

Will this setup work ? I know I can connect wirelessly to the travel router when connected to a switch, because that is how I originally set up the travel router from my home without issue.

@Devildog

It should work even without introducing a 5-port ethernet switch. Just connect your travel router to the ethernet port in the room. Then connect all your wireless devices to the travel router.
