ISP modem>WiFi router>GS108 switch can be used to add additional LAN ports.
Hi
The ISP is Orange [aka France Telecom] who provide the Livebox 4. It provides .ac [and backwards] wifi which we use for internet on our two personal Macs.
But my proposal is for a WIRED network. So what I'm looking for is a 3 / 4 / 5 port Ethernet router. And a couple of people have suggested that since they are scarce these days, I could buy a cheap wifi router which has a couple of ports and turn off the wifi connecion.
Cheers
Ken
