    I warmly welcome,

    Soon I will be subscribed to Inea and therefore they offered me a Nokia G-240W-A or Alcatel-Lucent modem.
    Of course, the modem has 4x LAN input, but I know from experience that Inea has only one active LAN port. The rest is blocked.
    (Maybe something has changed for these models - I don't know).

    My question is, does anyone have a similar experience, or simply knows, if I add a switch / router to the modem and then connect the DECODER via RJ45 to the active ports of the router and, for example, a desktop computer, will everything work together?
    I am afraid of a situation where after connecting the router or switch to the ISP, and then connecting the decoder through the router and not directly to the modem from the ISP, the TV may not work.
    In this case, is the router in bridge mode the solution to the situation?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    This set-top box connection is cable TV? (If so, unfortunately I don't know) But if it's something like NC + GO then everything should work

    @WarningDeadPL yes it's cable tv. From what I learned from them, the decoder (some ADB company) receives the signal from the modem via WiFi with a frequency of 5Ghz, however, due to the fact that the modem will be in a metal box, the signal will definitely be suppressed, hence the question about connecting it using RJ-45. The trader assured me that it is possible to connect it with a cable, but at the moment I am worried that only one port in the modem will be available and this network will have to be expanded.

    If you get close to ptk. Inea sells, you can always approach and ask. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about cable TV.

    @WarningDeadPL I wrote it wrong, it's digital TV after all. I wrote to Inea about it, I am waiting for an answer the second day and I hope that they will give me some answer ;)

    Inea is cable TV - so it's cable TV.
    Digital TV is a type of signal transmission and not a definition of an operator :P

    What does the manual for this operator modem say about what you are struggling with?

    @ KOCUREK1970 From what I learned during the conversation with the consultant who presented me with the offer, the signal to the decoder will be transmitted via WiFi, it is not possible to send via coaxial cable, so I decided that it was a digital cable and not a cable cable :)
    As for the manual, they have a two-page manual explaining what the diode on the modem means, and the manual for the decoder is nowhere to be found on the website ...
    If I knew from them that now they do not block the LAN ports on the modem and in this case they will all be available, there would be no problem, but currently in my place of residence I have one modem from them, which unfortunately has blocked ports and I have a bad feeling about this situation :)

    @ 7Frihu
    Netgear GS105 or Netgear GS108 - should do the trick.

    I am more puzzled by this statement in this quick reference guide:
    "In order to verify the link speed, you must connect to the modem directly using the RJ45 cable to the LAN1 connector. Only this type of connection allows you to achieve the full purchased package."

    So it turns out that we give this Netgear to LAN1 to their router and the rest of the Netgear equipment to the other ports.

    Although here is information that net, tv and all services are available on all LAN ports (or I won't give it to their equipment), but in the info link that THIS router supports it:

    @ KOCUREK1970 certainly yes.
    I received the following information from Inea:
    Quote:
    Good morning,

    I kindly inform you that, according to the opinion of the technical department, the number of shared ports depends on the services purchased. Internet services with WIFI - all ports active. Internet service without wifi - port 1 for Internet, others for HiWay. Television service without Internet - ports 1-4 under HiWay.

    I would like to kindly inform you that it is possible to connect the router to the Internet port. Then the hardware configuration is on the customer's side.


    It is difficult to deduce from what will happen if I have TV + Internet with WiFi .. Will port 1 only be on LAN or only on TV ..

    The fact was described in such a way that, in total, nothing is known.

    But there is nothing but ordering services and then we will know exactly where we stand.
    Before that, there is nothing to worry about.

    On Thursday there will be a fitter to explain everything. As it should be, i.e. one port for the decoder, the rest for the Internet will be a fairy tale.
    The topic has been resolved at the moment.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting Inea's Nokia G-240W-A or Alcatel-Lucent modem to a network that includes a switch/router and a decoder for digital cable TV. Users express concerns about the modem's LAN ports, noting that only one port may be active, which could limit connectivity options. There are inquiries about whether connecting a switch/router would allow the decoder and other devices to function properly. Some users mention that the decoder receives a signal via WiFi, but due to potential signal interference, a wired connection using RJ-45 is preferred. The conversation includes suggestions for specific Netgear switches and highlights the need for clarification from Inea regarding the modem's port functionality. Ultimately, a technician visit is anticipated to resolve these connectivity questions.
