How does this connect to a modem that has all 4 ports already occupied? Trying to get 5 wired connections to the modem, but all 4 ports are used? TYVM

Re answer 1 and 2: Both answers are workable. If you are nearby I'll come over and show you how. Otherwise I suggest she get help from a local tekkie.

Disconnect one cable from the modem that is full. Then Run a cable from the modem to the new switch. After connecting the new switch to the modem, plug the cable that you took out of the modem into the switch; plus the other devices that you would like to connect to the modem, just connect to the new switch as well.

Unplug one of the devices that's connected to the modem and plug it into a port on the ProSafe 8 port switch. Run an Ethernet jumper cable between the vacated port on the modem and a port on the ProSafe 8 port switch. Now you will have free ports available on the ProSafe 8 port switch for 6 more devices.

Since your modem has 4 ports it sounds like it also functions as a router (which is good). You could unplug 2 or more ports on your modem/router, reconnect them to the switch, then connect the switch to a free port on your modem/router.

Physically connected? 4 with the 4 Ethernet ports; 1 USB port, so that's 5 in all. but, that multiplies if you use a hub or a switch. Wirelessly, that all depends on how it's configured, so quite a bit more than 5.

I am not sure I have mine hooked up to an net modem. You could always buy it if the connections are the same and if it does not work return it. Sorry!

I'm not sure...I would say no, just because the modem says ver.3. However, I never had any problems with it. Thanks

Yes. You should be able to add 1 more. But mine can only work with 2, because the middle port was bad.And it automatic detect which port is active and switch automatically.

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

It works with a 4 wire, 6 wire, and 8 wire connector. It is still a RJ45 connector for either one, internally the wire's are configured differently. The tool should terminate both. Check this link out. http://www.accesscomms.com.au/reference/cat5&6plugcomparison.htm

I've got 6 connections and no problem. The router though is not of the highest quality and Ive had issues the last couple of months. In fact Belkin did a firmware update and all across Time Warner cable the modems were not compaitable with the network for 3+ days. I'd recommend trying a different brand.

If you only need to hook up one PC, go ahead and plug it right into the modem - this will work great. Just make sure your PC's firewall is enabled! Your PC is receiving direct, unfiltered Internet when hooked up like this.

Don't understand the question. CAT5 from my modem feeds port #1 on the router which drives all other ports on the router. But all ports are the same therefore you could feed modem to any and use any other port to the rest of you gear, computers, printers, et al. Don't believe these routers accept CAT6.

Jan 16, 2015 - Is anyone still having success activating and using this modem with COMCAST? I don't need more than 25 Mbps. Does Comcast have capability to "kill" this modem in the future? I'm not worried about IPv6 capability for at least 5 more years. Thanks for all replies.

Hi Andrew. If your modem has wireless capability, then you may let the wireless adapter ( Belkin N600) connect to its network wirelessly. No need for another router if you already have one.

There are 2 network connections, 1 input and 1 output. The jack is a 'combo' jack that accepts either RJ11 or RJ45 connections. Generally you would use the RJ11 before your modem. You could use the RJ45 after, especially with cable modems, but it wouldn't protect the modem itself. The AC protection is 3 ways, L-N N-G and L-G

On the Wan side you can connect 3 DSL or Cable modems to this. I run 2 ATT U-Vers hard line modems and 1 Hughes new Gen-4 Satellite modem and it works great. Large family and were out on property so we were lacking a fast enough single connection so using more than one internet modem was needed. Can be a bit confusing at first, but if you have a little tech knowledge the web interface management is well done. If your asking how many connections on the LAN side I don't know and you need to contact the guys at peplink. My LAN is a bit more complicated than most home users but I do load the LAN side pretty hard with all my electronics.

It has 4 Ethernet ports and allows and 1 wan port where the internet plugs in. It doesn't say how many max wireless connections you can have but I have one setup now in my job and it works flawlessly with more then 20 people connected to it. Understand that the more people connected causes more traffic and speeds might be lower. This is a speed test I just conducted on the wireless connection: http://www.speedtest.net/result/4365102053.png

Looking at it, it appears to support all eight conductors, and have only used it with CAT5 cable with good results over my network and internet. Not much help beyond that, sorry...
