Let me throw in one additional wrinkle. Due to the physical constraints of the house, it may be necessary to add a switch to this setup. Wondering if such a network design is horribly flawed. The connections would be:
U-Verse Gateway --> Netgear Router (configured as an access point) --> Netgear Switch --> Hard Wired Devices Both the router and the switch would be gigabit, the gateway is 100 Mbps. Some devices would connect directly to the gateway via 100 Mbps ethernet, some directly to the router via 11n, and some to the switch via 1 Gbps ethernet. None of the traffic is particularly demandind in terms of bandwidth -- squeezeboxen, internet, an occassional file transfer between machines. Networking is not my strong suit. Can I expect this to work? Would the slower ethernet speed on the gateway slow down the gigabit traffic between devices on either the router or the switch? -- ajkidle 2x SBR, SB3, Boom, Radio, iPeng ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77669 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
