    Ethernet Switch

    I need a few more Ethernet outlets as my Virgin super hub only has 4 outlets, will any of the major brands such as TP-Link and D-Link do the job
    I only want to connect via Ethernet Cable as I have never been a fan of wi-fi connections as they seem to temperamental
    I will probably get a 8 hub so that I have spares for the future but will the signal degrade much

    Thanks in advance Regards Norm

    you will be fine with a normal gbit switch.
    its highly unlikely you'll push the switch to its limits.

    No: make sure they are cat5e (e=enhanced), or even cat6 (to be future proof).

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.
    NO CARD SHARING TALK WILL BE TOLERATED, LAN OR WAN, IN OPEN FORUM OR PM !

    English is not my native tongue.
    I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.
