Q: Using Netgear GSS108E with AirPort Extreme routers to prioritize traffic
I want to use my Netgear smart switch with our two Airport Extreme routers to prioritize internet use by family over security camera feeds and other low priority traffic, to reserve highest speed for spouse's and my internet work. I thought the switch would install directly between our broadband modem and the two routers, but that isn't working as hoped. Wanted to prioritize the port for one AE over the port for other traffic.
In the Netgear user manual it mentions use of a router or server to assign IP addresses to Netgear ports (I think). Needs to be a device that automatically assigns IP addresses.
Do I need a third Airport Extreme to serve that role? Don't have enough tech depth to sort it out.
Help appreciated! Haven't yet found a previous thread that addresses this specific issue.
