Hi
Currently I have a poor internet service send via copper wires and desire something better.
So went along with a Zyxel external router, a LTE7490-M904 with a 3 sim. Very happy with speeds
Only problem I have is connecting more than one device to it.
I used a Netgear smart ethernet switch which I already had thinking could connect another laptop to it and a printer. Printer works fine but laptop no. If I connect another laptop via the switch there is no internet available on it until I disconnect the original pc then all is fine on the laptop. Then though there is no internet on the pc until I disconnect the laptop. I am sure it all revolves around addresses of one sort or another. Has been suggested on Zyxel forum to disable IP passthrough. According to Zyxel info this should be an oprion but on my unit is not available.
Any idea will be gratefully received.
