But i dont really wanna order online lol

Anyway i can get this from staples or circute city

you can get them at any electronics store that sells computers. Ie: radioshack, compusa, circuit city, best buy.

Your going to pay around $39-69 for a decent one.

So that one wont work.

why dose it say it will tho lol

 

[uzi9mm]

I know what a switch is. It will not share and internet connection without a router.

It says in the description:
"How it works: It connects to your cable/DSL modem and communicates with your computers through wired Ethernet adapters via networking cable.."


Keyword= connects to your cable/dsl

it will connect to it, but it cannot share it single handedly. It needs a router.

Just buy a router and forget about the switch. You should be set after that.

so i see what you mean but cant i just like connect it using my modem? instead of using the wire from the modem to pc i put it to the switch where it says uplink or something?

 

[uzi9mm]

To your internet connection with multiple computers you need to use this method. That cloud is going to be your modem.

Oh I see so that way wont wont using the switch

But see one of the reveiws saysed he has 2 computers and his ps2 online! at one time but i dunno

 

[uzi9mm]

yes, when they wrote that review, they had 1 router that connected 1 length of cat 5 to the switch. From the switch they connected 2 computers and a ps2.

But no matter what. A router has to be involved in the whole process.
