The ports on the ethernet switch are all the same. Plug any device into any port you like. Yes, you should be able to keep the same settings on the PC and existing Squeezebox. I don't recall if the steps to configure the Transporter's network configuration are the same, but it should be similar.

Nothing really to achieve. I was just curious if I could speed up file access since I tend to power my SBT down from time to time. It's really not that slow for me (I don't have THAT many files). There's some good sales this time of year for routers, so I figured trying one wouldn't hurt. Anyway,

any reason you don't want to simply add a router to your location (even without the internet connection). Then you can connect the PC to the router and the Touch can be placed anywhere (connected via WIFI). And you have the added benefit of using your smart phone (via wifi) to control the TOUCH.
