    RMerlin, the four ports on the router go to computer 1, computer 4, tv system and the 5 port switch. The switch goes to computer 2, computer 3, printer and the router.

    I was referred to this site by Windows 10 Forums. My ISP tells me I need to replace my Buffalo AC 1300 due to connectivity issues. I know nothing about routers or networking and definitely need recommendations as to the best route to go. 3000 sq ft single level home 8 teenage Grandchildren...
