| 349415 | 2005-04-27 11:03:00 | that all depends ,whats the model number? | plod (107) | ||
| 349416 | 2005-04-27 11:04:00 | Give me the Model Number and I'll check for you. If the modem has a couple (normally 4) of network ports on the back (looks like an oversized phone plug) then it will act as a switch (hub) for the computers that connect to it. |

| 349418 | 2005-04-27 11:40:00 | that should do it, but i see yoou will need to run ya printer through one of the pc's as that router doesn't look like it has a print server on it, but thats no problem | plod (107) | ||
| 349419 | 2005-04-27 11:42:00 | it has a 4 port hub built in. tho most of the modems supplied from xtra that i have seen have been single port ones. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 349420 | 2005-04-27 11:47:00 | Yup, the DSL-504G will be act as a hub for your network and share internet among all the computers. If you need any help, you know where to come back to. |
