Postal Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 No one had the heart to tell me I am a DUMBASS? Come on you guys, you are always looking for ways to laugh at some one. You had a chance and passed it up. I now know how stupid that question was!! I now know that a wireless router is wireless AND wired. I feel dumber than shit right now!!!!!

MedicSN6 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Yes you are correct. Most newer wireless routers have a 4 or 8 port switch which allows you to do both. And you are not a dumb ass... you just didnt know. now you do. ;) I use Linksys products which are made and owned by Cisco Systems. Cisco has some great networking and very reliable products. Others I am sure like other products which are just as good. Edited November 3, 2007 by Medic~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_EBDA Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 You're not stupid. There's no way that you would know that unless you had played with one before. Try to go N speed with 10/100/1000 ports if you can afford it. If not, there are still some very good ones for G speed with 10/100 ports. I like linksys, netgear, and d-link. I am not belkin's biggest fan. I know some people who like trendnet and buffalo, but I have never played with either one. I got a good price on a netgear router at officemax or office depot (can't remember which one). It was actually about ten bucks cheaper than newegg or FRY's. Have fun!
