Do I need a Managed Switch?
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I needed more ethernet ports for all my networked devices, so I bought a cheap switch (TL-SG1005D) and hoped for the best.
Should I have bought a managed switch?
ISP: RCN
Cable Modem: Arris SB 6183
Switch: SG1005D
Device 1: Mac Pro running 10.11.6 connected to switch via cat5 (not working using DHCP)
Device 2: HDHomeRun Extend (converts OTA tv signal so it can be streamed over local network)
Device 3: Wireless Router: Apple Airport Extreme Base Station Model A1143 (Currently plugged into switch and WORKING PERFECTLY. Weird.)
Device 4: Philips Hue Hub (plugged into wireless router)
Device 5: Lutron Hub (plugged into wireless router)
Device 6: TP-Link AV1000 1-Port Gigabit Powerline Adapter (TL-PA7010 KIT)
I would like to be able to plug devices 1,2,3, and 6 into this switch.
Thank you in advance!
David
