    Better hope it supports STP. That may be a standard feature for switches but the datasheet for this one isn't mentioning it at all.
     
    Is this a router with 4 ports or 1 port? Generally you would configure a network with a primary distribution block and then divide it out like a tree. If your router has 4 ports I'd connect each switch to one port each. If the router only has 1 port I'd buy one more Gbit switch and comment these POE switches to that then the router.

    If these are switches you plan to place throughout your home/business I would buy one more. A 4 or 8 port Gigabit and plug each into that. Depending on how much bandwidth the devices on each of these switches require this would yield the best results. If you are looking to link some of these switches directly together for redundancy that's an option but this would make STP support desirable and I don't know if these switches support it. I can try looking it up but someone will likely come along and say yes or no before I can find the answer myself.
     
    Connecting the switches together the way I stated would make network failure easier to troubleshoot as you'd just follow the network backwards to where it stopped working while your way would create multiple paths to other devices which could make things harder under certain circumstances.
     
    Can it be done your way? Yes. Would it work? Yes. Would it work well? Up to a point. If you loaded up some of the switches furthest from where data is being sent this could lead to network congestion from bandwidth limitations.
     
    It's all about how you plan to put it together. What are these switches going to do? Are they ran to different rooms to service each? Are they for IP security cameras/phones/AP's?

    Then daisy chaining them in a row will most likely not yield noticeable loss of performance my only concern would be making multiple connections between multiple switches. This can cause what are called Broadcast Storms and this is where STP comes in. Until we find out if they support this I would probably only do:
    Router Port 1 -> Switch1 -> Switch2 Router Port 2 -> Switch3 -> Switch4 This would still make things quick and easy to troubleshoot.

    I lost it got a reaction from Ben17 in Show off your old and retro computer parts   
    Yep completely untouched besides opening the box to eye my prize lol. Zero discoloration and absolute perfection. Guy i got it from bought it new for his kid back in the day and his kid too zero interest in it when he showed it to him so he just stored it. All discs still sealed and everything. I think i am the first to take it out of the plastic lol. I'll get pics this weekend
