get_saif Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Back in my days, used a simple switch and that did a great job. The only downfall, the switch should have good data transfer capabilities pc to pc. Mine suffered at 1mb.. Anyway it did the net share .. that was the purpose.

Dreadnaught Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) One could, although I have no knowledge of [your] budget, so I do not know what exactly is "in-expensive" to you sir, but adding the same type of Router, then creating several "Firewall's-within-Firewall's," could "serve you well..." Please be advised that mine is a "Triarii" (Latin: "Veteran") perspective (US Army, 20th Century). As an experienced [operator], one could never get enough security. And enhancing it, is never 'cheap', unfortunately. Many of my former and current client's atypically learn that in the most hard--and harsh of [manner]. And depending on the "latency near you," the 'signal' can be brutally slower than you may or may not be used to. I pray my commentary is of some use. Glad tiding's...

potatochobit Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I got one of these for free, it helps a lot lol. http://www.amazon.com/3Com-Superstack-Baseline-Dual-Speed/dp/B00000J48F Using a hub on any modern install is insane. At 10 mbit, they were okay. At 100 mbit, they sucked. At gigabit, it's worse. A cheap switch is under $20 shipped. QFT. Seriously, even this product is $10 and is eligible for Prime shipping. Only up to 100Mbps unfortunately, but come on, it's $10 shipped, lol. Solves the problem in one easy step. those are great but they require an A/C power adapter the goal is less cables and clutter not more blinky lights on the desk A cheap switch , you could always use wireless on your pc and bridge a connection between your wifi card and your Ethernet port for an extra cable which could be used for your play station. yeah, but I could just use wifi on the game system to begin with, it is built in. the point is to get faster transfer speeds and more reliable online play over a cable. the PC is connected to the home server so I need gigabit ethernet to transfer large files back and forth to the PC. anyway, since this thread was bumped if you are curious what I did was just bridge my PC connection to the video game system. so I have one ethernet cable from my PC going to console. that's it. the downside is, the internet will not work if I turn the PC off.

Waco Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I don't understand why a single power cord isn't worth the convenience of a switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 That and if you don't like blinky lights, I find black electrical tape works good.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
