My Internet connection is 100Mb/s. Can the WAN port actually handle that? Some users reported lower speeds than without the router.

No, all ports will negotiate to the fast speed each device can handle ex; two gigabit PCs on this switch can communicate with each other at gigabit speed, however if your router is only Fast Ethernet (100 megabit) then the switch and router will talk at the slower 100 megabit speed.No cables are supplied with the switch, you will need to buy those separately.

The setup that is being used here currently does not use PoE. (was purchased to upgrade/replace an old switch) We have verified that the connections are capable of the 1000MB/S with our farthest workstation showing throughput of 856MB/s to and from the server. Ours was new. (not refurbed) Has been flawless since integration.

It depends. If you have 100mpbs+ and you dont currently have a Gigabit port it will increase networks speeds. If you have anything less than 100mbps all this will do is increase the speed your computer communicates with other devices on your network.

Something is not right there. On a wired 1Gbps connection with a single copy I would expect at least 400Mbps, with speeds over 700Mbps on faster switches (efficient internal packet forwarding). That is from testing when I first received the unit (tested with 4 x 5200 RPM Toshiba 160GB in RAID 5, prior to 4 x 7200 RPM Seagate 750GB in SHR I have had in it since then - but I haven't tried that on a fast switch, my home switch seems to max about 500Mbps). For comparison, I've seen speeds close to single line speed (~900Mbps) on a DS713+/DX513 combo. If you are on WiFi, I would run hardwired tests for comparison. Then start troubleshooting your WiFi.

Yes you can connect the network port on this device to a 10/100/1000 switch.But, from my FIOS experience, where I use this, depending any heavy FIOS video traffic in combination with the exact nature of your coax type, coax connectors and how crimped and the bandwith of any coax cabling splitters you may have in your coax setup (signal to noise ratios greatly differ between coax splitters, as there are differing quality coax splitters) you may not always get full gigabit speed on that connection.

I am using a Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD; the NAS is wired to a Gigabit router and Wifi network is Wireless N 150Mbps. I was getting 9-10 MB/s. I was sitting around 3 meters from AP. Infact connecting to the 100Mbps port of the switch gave me same speed.

Any port can be used as a WAN port as long as it is configured to do so. The default configuration that ships with the router sets ETH1 and the SFP port (optical) as 'WAN' ports while the rest belong to the LAN. Note that the default configuration only sets the port when you power on the router the very first time and follow the prompts on the LCD. Otherwise, the user is expected to provide all the configuration for the device.

This device has a single ethernet port that you could connect to your server and then link the EA-N66 via wifi to your router. If the router and the AE-N66 are within line of site without intervening walls then you shouldn't loose much download or upload speed. If there is even a single interior wall between them then you will definitely loose some speed

I have 35Mbps and it works fine. I was able to use it with a split Ethernet cable connection to my router also without any problems. I would advise against using a wireless connection based on my experience though.

if your dial up modem can attach to the lan port on the cpu it should work. i would think your speed is going to be very slow !!

I used this cable to wire my PC directly to my router. An Internet speed test shows me getting 28.6Mbps down and 5.88Mbps up, as of this moment...which is at leas as fast as what I pay for. I have no way of testing the LAN throughput, though, if you are looking for Gbps machine-to-machine transfers. I suspect that it would be fine.

It could support N-1 WAN, but it needs to be programmed. I only have 3 port as WAN IN and 1 as WAN OUT for Load Balancing purposes using PCC method. There are a lot of scripts avaliable to do it. hope this helps.

Yes it's a full router, it has full DHCP capability. You can even assign certain WAN ports / LAN ports as you wish. I personally use it as both a load balancer and router for certain devices. I.E. I have a netgear router attached too it that handles general wireless duty via DHCP of it's own. My main systems (2) are plugged directly into the unit. This is a great device for failover/load balance I was definitely hesitant at first as I've seen devices 3x this much not work this well. To answer your question more succinctly I would have anything near enough for an Ethernet cable plugged into the device, you can plug in a router to extend the amount of devices + wireless if you wish. You can change LAN to WAN and vice versa, I personally use the first dedicated WAN port for one modem, 2nd LAN port switched to WAN for the 2nd modem (load balanced), as stated two systems plug directly in to the LAN ports DHCP, router goes into the last port for wireless / other devices less crucial. Reason I do this is because this device has a solid firewall and great attack mitigation features. Hope this helps.

yes, disable dhcp, and don't use the wan port, make all connections (to main router & to connected devices) using the lan ports. also i advise giving this (access point) a specific ip address, so you can connect to it easily to reconfigure etc.

The LAN interface on my TD-8816 is connected to a 1GbE switch. The negotiated link speed is 100Mbps, which is >10x faster than the link speed of my ADSL service.
