View Full Version : Possible?
I have a router (Linksys WAG54G). It's got 4 LAN ports. They are all full and I'm also using wireless but I also want to add a wired device. Instead of changing one of the devices to wireless to free up a port, what can I do?
Do I buy one of those gateways? If so, what type and brand?
Thanks

Buy a switch, plug it into one of the LAN ports on the Linksys, then plug the extra device into the switch.
You shouldn't need a crossover cable as most home switches have the ability crossover internally (usually listed as Auto MDI/MDI-X in the features).

^^^What he said, you can get a Linksys 5 port switch for $18. after rebate. Nice switch you can find it here.....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124005
EDIT: Sorry, just realized your from the Persian Gulf but this will give you an idea on what you can buy for pretty cheap money in your area.
