The network will have internet from Virgin Hitron CGNV4 router in modem only mode. 

I am registered to ExtremeCloudIQ device manager, but do not know how to connect my router with a switch.

You'll want a standard cat6 Ethernet cable to connect the switch to your Router. You'll also want the same cable to connect your APs to the switch. This is an example of the type of cable I'm referring to: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-RJ45-Cat-6-Ethernet-Patch-Cable-5-Feet-1-5-Meters/dp/B00N2VILDM/...

 

These guides will help you connect and configure the switch: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/SR22XX-and-SR23XX-Guides?language=en_US

 

This guide reviews how to add your devices to the ExtremeCloud IQ interface:https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Adding-and-Removing-Devices-in-HiveManager

 

This guide reviews how to push your configuration out to your devices: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/How-to-push-a-configuration-update-to-a-device-in-Hi...

 

If you can tell me what kind of network you'd like to set up, I can try to provide more guides to assist with this. For example:

 

To create an Open SSID (no password required):https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/How-To-Create-an-Open-SSID-in-HiveManager

 

To create a PSK SSID (everyone has the same password): https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/PSK-SSID-How-To-NG?language=en_US

 

To create a PPSK SSID (everyone has their own password):https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/PPSK-SSID-in-NG?language=en_US

 

To create a Radius SSID (everyone has their own username and password, plus extra security): https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Radius-SSID-in-NG?language=en_US
