For clarity: do these switches accept wifi connections? it is an excess of wireless devices that is exceeding router capacity.

If so just look for a 5-port or 8-port desktop switch which all companies make, Linksys, D-Link, Netgear etc. You use one of the ports of your router (most of them have 4 ports) and plug in the desktop switch and then you have those 5 or 8 ports available (depending on which one you buy). I have a Cisco 16-port small business switch at my store which has 8 regular and 8 POE ports power over ethernet, those are ports used for example if you have Ip phones which need the network connection but also require power). Often you can power POE devices with a separate adapter, but if you have POE ports on your router the CAD5E or CAD6 cable provides the power for the device as well as the wired connection to your network Here is one example: NETGEAR 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch in Metal Case - Essentials Edition (GS305) https://www.amazon.ca/NETGEAR-5-port-Gigabit-Desktop-Switch/dp/B00QR6XFHQ Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: 'RobH.' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, May 6, 2018 11:24 AM To: viphone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: WiFi ports Hi, what solutions do people have when your router can no longer accept any more pods/pads/phones/etc? A device to hook to an rj45 port/socket would be good. Thoughts please? Tia, BobH. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
