    What model router. Sounds like your router is a 100Mbit one
  • Looking like you are right,

    I got my router model mixed up, wndr3400 netgear which is indeed 100mb -_- which means i need to get a switch or a new router fun times.

    Appreciate the initiating the re-investigation on that part. I had looked at that before, but caught the wrong model number.

    Let you know when i swap a switch in there, probably monday.
  • A Netgear GS-10x series switch will work fine. One lead to the router, everything else to the switch.
