Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some general questions. Im wishing to purchase a router/switch for home use as I want to link my 2 computers to the net. I have one here that Ive been lookin at. http://www.scorptec.com.au/index.php?prdid=00003675 I dont really know the difference between some models as the one im lookin at is around $110 AUS and ive seen them go up to atleast $300 AUS. I cant notice a great difference between this one and others. Would this router do the job? -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Geforce FX 5600 128mb

It'll do fine. But if you do not want a network printer you can get cheeper. In case you don't know, a network printer would connect to the router so all you need is the printer on. If you "share" a printer, it would need to be connected to a computer and that computer turned on for other network computers to use. When all else fails beat the $%!* out of it!!!

looks like it will do very nicely. and appears good value. I recently paid $50AUD for an 8 port switch but the unit you're looking at is full router with inbuilt firewall and printserver. If you have a printer that you want to share then that's the way to go. Either of your PCs could then print independantly
