EDIMAX Switch Review - For LAN Parties & Networking

[chubsnellie]

can you plug a switch into a router? like router connecting to switch, then to computers

[EkkilsoyLAN]

can u use this as a offline router, basically setup an offline network and use this as the center?

[Leacholopolis]

@EkkilsoyLAN yes that would work... basically your LAN wouldnt have a WAN (wide area network) connection... so you want to set up a peer to peer network

QUESTION??? Can I hookup a dsl modem/router with a router in a daisy chain and get wireless from the last router??? because I cannot connect the last router directly to my dsl line cause I need a dsl modem. Can I buy that dsl moden in USA and use it in south america ?? Will that modem work there ?? Please Help with ideas.

[Leacholopolis]

@CharlysWay you can do that but you might want to console or login to your router with the wireless and set it up so that it only runs as an access point ... you never wnat more than one router per LAN espesically in home environments.. do that if you can or know someone who can .. if not my suggestion is buy a cheap wireless access point on ebya or somethign adn plug that into your wired router with the built in dsl modem...

i have 2 pc's and where do i connect my 2 ethernet cables? on the switch right?sorry i dont have knowledge of this hope for your reply

[PreOrderv]

so is there a certain port that the ethernet cable from the router to the switch box goes into because i have gotten confused looking at it because theres no dedicated port for internet supply

[Prvtruls]

Can you get internet acces by connecting ethernet cables to the remaining router ports?

Also is it allways this simple? I mean you just connect the switch to one of the ports on your router and you simply get more ports that can connect to the internet?

Can i connect an ethernet switch directly to my modem? basically what i need is one wire going to my computer and another to my ps3. Thanks.

[XenomexTutorials]

@dscimi121 Yes, it should work.

[askloglog]

@dscimi121 yes but i think you can only use one at a time

[SuperNinjaSH]

OMG i ordered it on the 4th and its now the 15th, it still says order taken and it has been like that for a week now =[

[SuperNinjaSH]

so.. if i have an ethernet cable from the main router and plugged that ethernet cable into the edimax router i can run off two more ethernet cables?

[XenomexTutorials]

Thats Exactly Right.

Very Useful you know.

[SuperNinjaSH]

ye man, thanks. my bro got a xbox for christmas and we only got one cable going from the bottom floor to the third floor, so this is gonna help big time, thanks. Just ordered it also =P

[SuperNinjaSH]

one question though, will i only be able to run one port at a time or will i be able to have both xboxs online at the sametime?

[XenomexTutorials]

Everything connected to the port is in the network.

[SuperNinjaSH]

so in other words i can run both at the same time? lol

[XenomexTutorials]

yes, even 8 for this router

[SuperNinjaSH]

sweet thanks man, im expecting mine in a few days =P
