Comment:

Ok I got a speedtouch 536 and I go to my local computer store, he says that I want to get a TP-link 1008D 'fast ethernet switch' instead of a router, I say well you probly know more than me so I buy it, I can only connect one computer to the internetbecause the other comes up with the 'cannot find the server' bull---- in both IE and firefox uh, It doesnt have a special port for the internet and its an unmanaged system, any help would be great

Thanks Chris

A switch can not be used in place of a router. Get a refund or an exchange.
