      Hi everyone, I'm new here. And by "here" I mean this forum and networking in general.

      Could anyone explain what "discrete" ports are, and how they differ from say the ports on an SG-1100? Pretend I'm a child.

      Thank you in advance to any replies.

        @Orny most routers have individual ports. So, separate networks.

        The 2100 has a WAN port and a 4 port switch that is all the same LAN.

        The 1100 is a bit odd in that it is a 3 port switch but uses VLANs on each port to separate the ports. In essence, out of the box it behaves like 3 separate ports.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
