I have had this router for a year or so and it has been rock solid but am running into some expansion headaches.
I have occupied all the ethernet ports with desktops + vonage IP adapter.
I moved my xbox(my media center) to a wireless connection with a bridge, moved the workgroup multifunction fax/laser off ethernet to wireless with a bridge, moved 2nd laser to wireless bridge and relocated it to another floor.
There are 3 laptops running in the house and a couple of wifi gadgets (pda, tablet)
I am building a raid box (NAS) with old parts for central storage (media, photos, work files) and I suspect this would be best served plugged into the router by hardwire rather than wireless.
My question is - how do I make more ports? can I buy a ethernet 4 port switch and plug that into one of the ports? or is there an 8 port WRT54GL?
no - I am not selling the GL unless I have a capable replacement.
