    Humminbird Networking

    I have 2- Helix 10 MEGA SI+ G4N and 2- Solix SI/G3 Mega 360 Ultrex 80/Link all link thru the 5 port ethernet switch. I just added Mega Live Targetlock so my question is do I need another ethernet switch or is their another option ?

    Four displays, iPilot LINK, and MEGA LIVE/Target Lock is 6 Ethernet devices.
    If you want all of them networked, there is no other choice than to add another Ethernet Switch.

    Well, there is one other option. You could replace one of your Solix units with an Apex and use the 2nd port on the Apex for the Mega Live and TargetLock combo. Not a cheap option, but an option.

    Apex is a great unit. I have one! I bought the new high speed Enet switch about 3 weeks ago for $260. The 13 inch Apex is $4300. If you can afford the Apex and want one that is a great choice. JMO Bob
