Network switches
Network switches
Another random PC question which is now the norm from me, can I simply connect a wired network switch to one of the ports on my router and extend the number of wired connections, or is not as simple as that?
Basically using something like any of the items on this page:

Hi everyone, sorry haven't really been around much lately, been quite busy plus the car is getting fairly neglected.

then you just use the modem as a bridge if your running telephone or tv from your modem. if not the just run the netgear one on it's own. 8 ports and wifi

Something like this will do just fine:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc...16&subcat=
I'm running a TPLink Gigabit router with one of their gigabit switches and it works perfectly and I get the same transfer rates between PCs as between drives inside my PC :-)
Was Supercharged Racing Green IS200 Sport. Now APR Stage 1 Seat Leon Cupra (220 Bhp).
Just to say there isnt much between switches - as such Netgear Prosafe is a little overkill for the home........

Perfect, I'll get one ordered then.
Thanks Ed, ones I was looking at were around the £45 mark, that's an even better price point
Thanks for all the replies :thumbup1:

So is there no real difference between the really cheap switches and then the ones around the £40-50 mark? (ignoring the ones over this as that really would be overkill)
