| 217504 | 2004-02-22 19:25:00 | We currently have a switch running a three computer network and am looking at running xtra jetstream. I am wanting to get a router to plug into the phone line then run a network cable to a spare port on the switch. Will this work or do I need other hardware? | Jackiex (4951) | ||

Check your switches info/booklet or check the ports to see if one of the ports is identified diferently. Cheers Murray P |
