can a router plug plug into Port #2 into on a 2 port ION?

Question

I was using a hidden network via a router. IThe router was plugged into port #1 and the network into Port #2. The router was unplugged from the ION. The network cable was then plugged into port 1. Can the router be plugged into port #2? Does the network cable need to be in Port #1?

Since the two ports must live in different subnets it's important that your device stay connected to the ports they were configured for. I would strongly advise to plug everything back to where it used to be. Otherwise you possibly would need to change configuration for both ports as well as parts of your lighting network and of the wireless router.
