Heya, I was wondering if it was possible to connect a router to a switch and all computers to be able to access the internet/LAN.
My router = Dlink DGL-4300 GamerLounge Router
Switch = None yet, but planning on getting:
D-link DGS-1008D 8-Port Gigabit
OR
D-Link DGS-108 8-Port Gigabit QoS
I can easily get a Crossover cable for $5 so thats no issue. I've already read a lot about this setup on other forums, but still need clarification on the physical setup of the hubs and more so in software.

As long as the router does dhcp then yes just hook the switch to the router and you should be set to go .

Shouldn't need a crossover cable to go from a router to a switch though.
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
