8 / 10 / 12 port router with wireless

Keedowah · 2006-01-24 14:41:21

hi, does anyone know of a router that i can wire in up to 8 / 10 or 12 pc's and also connect another 2 wirelessly - or something similar. I only seem to be able to find 4 port wireless ones. Is my only option to go for a 8 port (for example) router and add a 4 port wireless router to it? Cheers, K

Anything more than a 4 or 8 port router will cost you serious cash. Best bet is to get a 4 port router and then get a 8 or 12 port switch and cat5 them. You can either get a 4 port router with built in wireless or just attach a wireless access point.

Fair enough, you will need 3 power supply sockets but it is far cheaper than a huge multi port router.
