Should I get a switch or router port 24 for this network?
My existing equipment is: Etherfast Linksys 10/100 8-Port Workgroup Switch Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router, 4 connections. I want to have a network client 15 with a central domain server (Windows 2003) for the use of file, print and fax. Also there are a few I like to configure printers as network printers. With my current team, "I can just get a switch to connect directly to my DSL modem, while all computers and printers are connected to the switch? Do I have the ADSL modem into the router, hence the change, and all my equipment? Is there a special switch I need to get for that? Just a little confused about all the hardware and options out there. Thank you.
If you can get a switch connects everything in and then connected to the router and connects to the DSL modem. You can get a hub or a switch, the switch is slightly faster than a hub. If you are buying new get a 1 gigabyte switch, the 10/100 which will be slow and outdated in a few years.
