I want access to all functions on both the CS18 and the RM32. Is it possible to interface the CS18/RM/32/Laptop with both the AVB switch and the Apple wireless router? If so how would all 5 pieces be connected? Would I connect the laptop and the CS18 and the RM32 to the AVB switch and then the AVB switch to the Apple router?

- Yes

- Yes

You AVB Switch is designed so that 25% of the traffic is dedicated to AVB operations (CS18 and RM32) with the remaining 75% to all other 802.3 operations (i.e. your laptop, internet). Then for internet and DHCP your router would handle this through the wired connection. 

Remember Apple computers default to a wireless connection. For an optimal network run your laptop on an all wired connection, turn off your Apple wireless to force wired functionality.
