    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Maybe the reset had more to do with the 32/32. Regardless, things appear to be great now. Appreciate all the help. I'll continue to keep an eye on it and will take a look at the cable ends tomorrow.

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Sorry, just in case my post wasn't clear since I made all those edits, before I factory reset the modem with all the changes you suggested I was running into the issues with speed, but once I did the factory reset, my speeds are back to normal (and it seems more consistent as well). Do you think...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    So I replaced the connectors with the F-81 ones I bought, coupled the coax-in line to the modem coax, and took the commscope amplifier out of the equation entirely, and am noticing that my download speeds have dropped considerably. From 900ish Mbps, to 200 Mbps or lower. Edit: The xfinity speed...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Gotcha! Yes, I learned I can remove the wall plate and simply replace the connector, which is pretty easy. I might as well go around the house and replace them all with the blue ones I just bought (as I only found them in a 10-pack), even if they aren't connected in the basement. At least the...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    The thing I think you are referring to, is that circular piece in the middle of the wallplate connector, is a clear color for me. Like this: So I should replace those with blue or green ones? I just pulled one out of the wall and realized that I can replace the connector with the ones I just...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Don't do cable TV in this house so I've completely disconnected all the other coax cables. I'll pick up an F-81 connector and directly join the needed coax. For now, I've switched the modem to the VOIP port as suggested. These are the current stats from the modem connected to the VOIP port on...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    This appears to be working great! I didn't even need the F-81 connector since the Commscope box in the basement appears to be aggregating all the coax connections throughout the house. I just moved the modem upstairs and connected it as you suggested and it all worked. Amazing. Thank you for...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Hmmm I do have coax connections in the wallplates at both jack1 and jack2 and a whole mess of coax in the basement in a wiring cabinet of sorts. This is the wiring cabinet downstairs. That black cable currently runs to the modem. That device in there is a Commscope CSF1APDU9VPI. I'll have to...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Gotcha. So I couldn't use another router or a switch in the basement connected to the modem to give me the ports I need for jack1 and jack2? ie. Modem --> switch/2nd router --> jack1, jack2

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Yeah i'm not using the 2nd port of the modem at all. I was attempting to use the switch to give me the additional ports I need to get the wall jacks connected. My existing setup has the router connected directly to the modem (via the ethernet jack/cable on the 2nd floor), which works fine but...

    Home network with switch-first setup?

    Hey there, need some help. I've done some searching but haven't found much that tells me this is possible. TLDR, I made a table to illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish. Modem (netgear CM1100) -> unmanaged switch (Luxul XGS-1008) -> ethernet wall jack 1 -> Router (Netgear R7800) ->...
