Hello,
Hoping to get some answers for a couple questions that I have. I have been looking for a reasonably priced 6 to 8 port wired gigabit router. They are few and far between. In my searching I have seen it said that some wireless gigabit routers with LAN ports can be used in a hardwired Gigabit LAN by turning off the wireless connectivity. Is this true?
Also, Is it true that you can connect a gigabit switch to a gigabit router and get the same performance from the switch as you would the router (i.e. port forwarding, ip configuration, etc). Basically, connecting a switch to a router will expand the routers ports? Is this true?
If the 2 above questions are true, could someone point me to a reasonable router that can perform this way?
Any information is appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark
