Hey guys, I have a question to ask but I'm not exactly sure how to word it properly so I'll do my best. Okay, my room is pretty far from the server room where the router is located. Wiring has been put in my house to where there is an Ethernet jack in my wall. The problem is that I have 2 PC's in my room that want to access the internet, but there is only one jack in the wall. I was wondering if I could add some sort of switch from that one port to where I can connect both computers to the internet simultaneously? Thanks

yep, just add a hub which is a switch, plug both computers ethernet cable into it.

Um, a hub is a hub unless it's a switch. A switch is a switch unless it's a hub. But a hub is not a switch which is not a hub. Better to add a switch. A simple 4 port jobby should be very cheap. But a hub would work also, may be harder to find retail. Either way your good to go. J. j e r u v y a t y a h o o d o t c o m

Get a switch , a hub is half duplex and it will be slower do to collisions on the port .

A hub is a dumb device that only forwards. A switch has some smartness that makes it more efficient. A switch is inexpensive and will not require any set-up. Connect a CAT-5 cable from each PC to switch and on CAT-5 cable from switch to the wall outlet. You will need to place the switch in close proximity to a 110-v. (or whatever v. U use) power outlet. Also, you will not need to make any adjustments to your two PC's configuration either. The switch works just like an extension cord adds more outlets.
