OK, I'm thinking of adding a switch in my room so I can have more than just my computer connected to the net through hardwire in my room. I believe I know what to do, but I want to run it past you guys.
I just take a normal Cat5 line from my router, and plug it into switch port #1 (or can it be any port #?) then the rest of the ports are output?
Also (this may be a noob question) but would I see any benefit from plugging the switch to the router twice, or would that just be a waste of cable?
