    Router Advise please

    I will be looking for a 2nd hand dual gigabit ethernet card to put in the i3 machine and disable the on-board realtek nic. Will 2 Gb memory be ok? what about a hard drive? Currently has a western digital blue 500GB sata drive, would I be better off buying a small ssd? I assume the only thing...

    Router Advise please

    HP 1810 48G VLANS

    Hi Cloud200 Thank you for the information. I thought a benefit of using VLANS is to separate networks on the same subnet. If a router supports 802.1q VLANS would I only need one connection between router and switch or would I still need three? I am currently looking at the Ubiquity edge...

    HP 1810 48G VLANS

    Hi I am trying to set up a couple of vlans on this HP 1810 48G switch but am obviously doing something wrong. The vlans work in that they are separated but they cannot connect to the internet or/and they do not get a valid ip address from the dhcp server (my router). If i delete the vlans then...

Currently hard wired with cat5e not sure of throughput speeds but switches say gigabit ie both lights on at switch rj45 socket. I also want to put my vm internet router into modem mode and...
