I have a Linksys WRT54G Router connected to my cable "modem." The WRT54G router has a built-in four port switch on the back. I needed more ports so I bought a Linksys EZXS55W switch to connect to the router to give me additional ports.
I have connected the switch with a CAT5 cable from one of the router's switched ports to the uplink port on the switch. Everthing seems to work o.k. when I moved the connections from the router switched ports to the Linksys Workgroup switch EXCEPT the Linksys Vonage TA. When I plug it in, only the "link" LED lights. The "100" LED does not light since the TA is 10Mbps which is normal, but the "Full/Coll" light is also off meaning it is in half-duplex mode which is not normal. Also the TA just does not work when I do this port move.
I tried taking CAT5 cable and moving it to the port next to the uplink port (they are tied together) and everything works as expected - except the Vonage TA.
The "uplink" port on the switch is really a mystery to me since the switch seems to work whether or not I use it.
I thought the switch would act just like an extension of the router switch with everything being rather transparent to the connected devices.
