How to correctly place devices on the network?

Question

Network routing

Hello everyone, do not tell me what to put the place of the question mark on

this

picture. As I understand it, you need a switch for 5 ports, one of which will be wan prot. Do not tell me what exactly needs to be put there, but rather a link to this device, thanks for the help!

Answer 1

plug the wire from the hub into the router.

Answer 2

You need to put either a router or a switch with vlan support there. To implement such a scheme, there must be sufficiently weighty reasons.
The switch does not have a wan port, as well as non-soho routers.

Answer 3

The connection scheme is called https://www.google.com/search?q=router-on-a-stick https://www.tp-link.com/ru/business-networking/eas... (with reduced functionality, but VLAN is available). The switch does not have any WANs, you will have to confuse yourself with the VLAN settings. The setup will be somewhat easier if the router is plugged into the switch with two network interfaces (the 5-port option is no longer available), then the router itself is configured as standard, only the VLAN on the switch.
