Curious, is it company policy to install whole home ethernet cables to the main comm box, and have the main line go thru the switch rather than the router?
Thanks
Thanks

I like to run TCP optimizer for a better gaming experience, not sure if this is overwhelming the switch/router and causing it to lose connectivity to each other, but for 10 years it was no problem with comcast and shouldn't really affect your system as well ..I just cloned my HDD so every settings I had from the last ten years are still there ...Should I configure the DHCP Network Range manually to the 184.x.x.x address and subnet? if so what is the First and last DHCP Address

For a gigabit fiber customer, you've got an optical network terminal (ONT), which outputs voice and Ethernet. That Ethernet is connected to the red "ONT Broadband" input port on the Sonic Pace residential gateway. Then devices can be connected to any of the four yellow Ethernet ports on that router.
In a whole-home switch deployment, we take one of those outputs and connect it to a cable that goes to the switch. Then the other seven ports on the switch can be connected to wiring that goes to jacks around the home.

The Photo is the actual way sonic installed my whole home ethernet ... from what I understand, the yellow cable should go to the router first ONT? then from the router port connects back to the switch port 1 to make port 2-8 workable?Guest wrote:Dane has it right. Connect an ethernet cable between the ONT to your router's WAN port, and the yellow cable from your Netgear switch to one of your router's ports. If your Netgear has an IP it may also be doing something unexpected since it's a managed switch. You'd be responsible to fix that.
