Gigabit switch
in Networking
No, the D-Link router should work just fine with the TP-Link switch.
The difference between switches and routers is that a switch is basically just like an active hub, distributing the signals. Where a router there is a WAN port, witch is separated from the lan ports (has different ip ranges and a different subnet) and traffic can only go through open ports in the router, so access from outside is more limited. That was what I meant.
