Have you read the user guide yet? http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...=1825899896B05 Also, being a bit more explicit in explaining what you're trying to accomplish would be useful.

yea i read the manual....basically what im trying to do is connect the switch and router together to share the internet connection and extend the number of computers on the network by using the switch but im not sure on how to go about doing this...from what ive read on the internet, it says just connect the switch to 1 of the lan ports on the router...any other assistance would be great....thanks

If you have an SOHO style router you're only going to have essentially two connections, right? ^.o It'll have the input side, i.e., the ISP connection(s) (coax, RJ-45, etc.) and the output side - one, two, four, etc. RJ-45 LAN ports. I realize I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, so I'm still trying to figure out why you're asking for help.
