Hello, I have a small mesh wifi network comprised of two W12’s (one of which is operating as router connected to the SB8200 via ethernet) and the other which acts a node. My GF just recently got a stay at home job which she got a desktop for and it needs to be connected via ethernet. When I went to connect the ethernet into the other port initially it wouldn't connect to the desktop. So I rebooted the system to which the ethernet worked but the router wouldn't connect. After hours of trouble shooting I found myself here. Any recommendation as to how I can hard wire a device to my modem while still allowing my wifi to work?

You can’t. Most isp’s (the major ones) only support 1 public ip address. That means only 1 device can be connected to the sb8200. There are a few ISPs that support more than one but they’re rare. So what you need to do is go SB8200--->W12---->switch---->devices/satellites
