I wanted to get opinion on possible network setup.
Downstairs -
2 HD Homerun Prime devices
XBox 360
PlayStation 4
Cable Modem
Old wireless router
All Connect to ASUS AC66U router
One cable connects from router to upstairs ASUS N66 router
Upstairs -
Media PC
BlueRay Player
Router
Linksys Powerline
Chromecast
Upstairs bedroom -
Portable wifi router connected via Powerline
Chromecast
Given the configuration, my question is this: How much throughput would I lose if I replaced the old router with an 8 port gig switch. All downstairs devices would connect to switch including the Powerline 200 from upstairs to downstairs.
Im trying to consolidate the number of routers/hot spots and connect as much of the house as I can with wired network. Running cables in the walls or ceiling isnt an option.
