Networking question
I have an 8-port 10/100 router, I need at least one more port, lets say I
need 4 more. Would there be any diff between using 2 x 5-port gigabit switches (not daisy chained) as opposed to 1 x 8-port? I'd have 2 x NAS boxes and a gigabit backup pc nic into 3 of the ports i.e, faster NAS backup. Ahhhh, just thinking for a sec, I spose an 8-port might be better since any gigabit kit wouldn't need to go through the router and slow it down to 100? Errrrr, hmmmmmmmm. I'm even more confused now |
