Post Body

I recently installed AT&T fiber and they installed it upstairs and then ran a cat6 cable to connect to the cabling going to my Uverse DVR downstairs.

The BGW320-500 is connected to the cat6 on port 1, and connected to one of the nodes of my ASUS Router mesh on port2. I am wondering if I can put a switch between the AT&T BGW320-500 and the cat6 cable, and then connect my ASUS router to the switch also to use the cat6 as the backbone between the nodes?

So basically it would be

Fiber -> BGW320-500

(port 1 -> switch)
(port 2 -> ASUS Main Node)

ASUS Main Node

LAN port -> upstairs switch

upstairs switch -> Cat6 cable -> Downstairs switch

LAN port1 -> AT&T Uverse DVR
Lan port2 -> ASUS 2nd Node

Would this be possible? What if I get managed switches and put the UVerse cable on one VLAN and the ASUS Router on a 2nd VLAN?
