Hello. Thank you for reaching out. I understand this might be challenging in English, and I appreciate you clarifying the situation. Regarding your question about Internet modems and routers, it sounds like you're trying to optimize your setup. You mentioned using an optical modem, a Wi-Fi router, and connecting them to your PC. If you connect the modem directly to your PC, you get full speed, but your Wi-Fi isn't working. Using a splitter might help, but it's important to ensure proper configuration and compatibility. Let me know if you'd like more details!

The item you're seeking is referred to as an Ethernet switch. Simply visit any online marketplace and type in "5 port Ethernet switch" to find options.

It could be easier and more affordable to purchase a gigabit router. No requirement for an advanced model.

Just to confirm, you want to link your Ethernet switch directly to your optical modem, then use that connection to connect both your PC and Wi-Fi router without any setup? You mentioned it should be plug-and-play, but you didn’t mention any issues right now—just that it’s not working due to various reasons. Also, if you need help contacting your internet provider, that would be necessary at the moment.

Don't have to contact the internet provider to adjust the router. Simply plug in another device using the same method as connecting your PC.

Modem - Router - Switch I’m not sure why you can’t switch it to Modem - Switch. I have several switches in my home network, but they all follow the same path. I’m thinking about purchasing one soon, maybe after comparing prices (I’ll need another for the far side of the house).

It seems you're observing that connecting your PC directly to the optical modem provides internet access, which suggests a possible optical modem or router setup. Likely yes.

I was swapping out my old router a few months back and had to contact them to activate it, as instructed. They mentioned something about IP settings. Wouldn’t it be identical in speed if I used a router instead of a switch? I can share a photo of it.

It's essentially a pass-through setup. If it's a TP Link router with antennas, the black cable exits the router and connects to the switch, which then links to all your wired devices.
