| 677864 | 2008-06-12 11:35:00 | I'm looking at extending my network from a single 4-port wireless router to include a 8-port CNet CNSH-800E switch (good??). I would imagine that they are compatible - would the extra switch make a difference to the speed of the network? One cable will run between the router and switch. Here's my proposed network (www.imagef1.net.nz) EDIT The Internet comes in through the wireless router |

| 677867 | 2008-06-12 21:08:00 | Are we talking about an internet cafe here or something given your earlier post about leeching bandwidth on torrents? No, the 2 threads are completely unrelated. Here's my situation: ATM I have several machines at home that connect through a single ethernet cable to the router in the other room - currently I have to change that cable over to another PC if I want to access files from it, hence the purchasing of a switch :) Is the switch I have chosen of decent quality? |

| 677868 | 2008-06-12 23:34:00 | IMHO most modern switches are much of a muchness, unless you're talking about enterprise managed switches like what Cisco make, where you can set up VLAN's etc . . . . . For home networks it really doesn't matter that much . | nofam (9009) | ||
