Yes, this will work. I have the same but my first router is dedicated hardwired. All good thouh
You can also add an AP connected to the switch for wireless devices like phones and also for laptops if you are moving around with it.
In my house currently we are operating off of WiFi only, which isn’t terrible, but I’m finding myself wishing I had ehternet ports available for certain things such as my PC. As far as equipment I have listed in the diagram above, here is the breakdown.
-Internet is coming into my house via COAX.
-COAX plugs directly into my modem which is a NetGear CM1200.
-Router is connected to modem via Cat6, in which the router is a Google Nest (AC2200).
-Router would then connect via Cat6 to a switch I managed to get from work which is a NetGear GS108T.
-Switch would then connect to wall plates throughout house via Cat6.
Based on this, is there anything that I’m not seeing that would cause issues? Assuming that works, I’d then need to figure out how to run ethernet drops from my 2nd floor all the way down to my basement but I know I need to figure this stuff out one step at a time.
You don’t need Cat 6 to connect to the switch. The Nest WiFi (not Pro) only supports Gigabit. Getting a higher spec’d cable for that short of a run is a waste of money.
That’s a great setup
No, that would work. ISP to modem to router to switch. Switch to satellite mesh units and wall ports for devices.
