Currently my network here at the house is based around a D-Link DGL-4300.
I will be adding a network drop to one of my living rooms and I want to add either a switch or a wireless access point with no less than 4 ports. The access point isnt a must...it is a want, as i want to expand the range of my network through out the house. I do not care if it is 54mb or 108mb it doesnt matter. If D-link doesnt make a wireless access point with 4 ports for wired connections then please suggest an AP that wont give me any issues on my network.
If it will work (be compatible with my setup Ive got my eye on this Linksys WET200 unit.
Now for a regular old switch I am looking at the D-Link DGS-2205 it does gigabit and has 5 ports which is pretty much all that I need.
Now networking is not my forte but I should be able to just run my network drop and plug up the switch then connect my 360, blu-ray player and what not and be off to the races correct?
suggestions please guys..I only wanna do this one time
or if all else fails I could get the switch and at a later time add the access point to the switch and be good to go right?
