I provide a SOHO router at EVERY install (no built-in switch). This completely eliminated the collisions. The router is 10 Meg on the WAN side and auto 10/100 on the LAN side. I then SELL them a autosensing 10/100 switch (if they want it).
I had MUCHO collisions on the Ethernet side of the sB device prior to adding these routers. The router and switch are both cheapo units. As a test, I setup 2 airBridge indoors on opposite sides of my house connecting back to an aPPo. Then put these SOHO routers and switches on the ethernet side (creating 2 LANs on opposite sides of my house). I then invited 9 buddies (10 with me) over for a LAN party. We put 5 on each LAN, and started playing LAN games and Internet Server games. Every laptop had a 100 Meg connection (although eventually limited to the T-1 speeds of my backbone). Absolutely no problems with connectivity or speed. Ran SWEET!
