Ok... I have an older Netgear RT314 router laying around that had a bad bios flash applied to it.
Im thinking at this point it SHOULD be a glorified switch correct? just no "rotuer" abilites, but I should be able to use it as a switch...
So if the above it true, how do I do it?
Wall Jack -> cross over cable -> one of the 4 LAN ports (not the WAN) -> straight CAT5 cable from other 3 ports to PCs correct?
