That is exactly how I have it hooked up.

You should get a UPS and plug the router into that to protect it an
your
other equipment. UPS(s) are cheap now of days.

What is a UPS? Is that a switch? I was told by the seller of this
router I do not need a switch.


That's the one I use by Belkin. The thing with Belkin is when the battery goes, you just pay the shipping cost to return the UPS and the shipping cost for the new UPS and Belkin replaces the whole UPS with a new one for free.

Everything I have three computers for sure and sometimes a laptop at times, modem, FW appliance, the wireless AP switch when I was doing the wireless was connected to the UPS to protect the equipment and keep the power constant and do controlled shutdown when power was lost instead just loosing everything.

Also in reading your other reply posts, it seems like you have resource sharing going on with the two machines and when one is off, the other machine is complaining about the machine being off because it cannot access it.
