    Advice on small business router

    Hi, My friends have a small business and want to set up networking at their shop. I'm trying to keep cost and complexity to a minimum.

    Looking for ideas to easily add network cables in future

    Proper way to use a switch?

    Sooooooo, I thought I knew a lot about home networking until I found this site.... Way back in the 90's when I first got broadband and a 4 port router I couldn't imagine EVER using all four ports. Today I just ordered a TrendNet 24 port switch because I've outgrown the 4 ports on my router and...
