I have a switch now, and its getting old (and its showing, network no longer works right and the net is going crazy).
So I have my eye on this router, my question is: Is a router fine if I just wanna connect 2-3 computers + my DSL? Or do I need a switch or Hub to make the LAN and then hook that up to the router.
Im looking at this router and it has 4 LAN ports and a WAN port. Could I just hook one computer into LAN port 1, another into port 2 and a third into port 3 and then put the DSL into the WAN port?
Networking is pretty new to me and proving to be very dificult (I blame the piece of crap switch I have). All I wanna do is share my files between the computers and also be online *cries*, is that so much to ask!!!
