I'm new to all this, and in Seattle I just got CL 40 mb service, along with their wireless router. I understand it is fiber to the house, then Ethernet into the house and thus the wireless router, which I'd like to replace (yes, I bought it, but it'll be a spare) with an apple AirPort Extreme and express to cover my three story house. Can I simply connect a smart switch to the ONT Ethernet output, port 1, and then the first apple to port two thereby by-passing the CL wireless router altogether? Thanks. (Xyxel 1100z is the device bought from CL)
