Additional ethernet ports
I have a one of these US robotics wireless routers (Model: USR8054)
http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/3124/untitled9fm.jpg It only has four ports and I've used them all. Problem is, I need more ports. Can anybody recommend a good switch that will work well with this wireless router? |
i dont have any ideas for you,
but, if you could, give a quick review of your experence with this router? I've been useing a linksys for a few months, and it has been a pain in the ass |
Reccomend one of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833122005 You should be able to just plug it in and get an extra 3 ports (crossover cable between the two takes one port on each). I've also had good experence with the 8-port model. |
Any switch will do, try to find one with an uplink port built in, use the uplink port to join the 2 devices with a normal Ethernet cable; otherwise you will need a crossover cable to make the link.
|
A switch is a switch. Its even more fun when you daisy chain them together!
|
Yeah, for routers and managed switches, I'd look into it. For passive switches, get something cheap. They'll either work or they won't about 99% of the time.
