Hello! You're facing an issue with your network setup. It seems like you're trying to connect two devices at once, but you're getting errors when you attempt it. Since you don't have a router and are on a budget, you might explore using the switch more effectively. Try configuring your devices through the switch's management interface or check if the switch supports multiple VLANs or port assignments. If possible, consult your ISP or network administrator for further guidance.
You should purchase a router because your current one only supports 1 Gbps, while the router you need offers 300 Mbps. Without it, your speed drops significantly—around 960-970 Mbps versus just 70 Mbps with the router. The switch won’t help if you don’t upgrade to a proper router.
I experienced this switch before and it worked fine, but now that I’m in university life, things have changed. I don’t have direct fiber optic connection to my room; instead, I only have an RJ45 broadband cable. At home, I had a receiver and a router, but after the switch, the main port is now 5.
It seems you're mixing up different technologies. The fastest dial-up was 56kbps, which isn't useful if you already have it. Usually, a RJ11 cable is used. If you have an Ethernet port at school and the switch won't work, they probably have a limit on MAC addresses for that port. A router might help, but it could conflict with the school's network rules and might not be allowed.
