Solution USAFRet Nov 30, 2016 1234l9 : my friend told me that i will get way slower speeds because the switch is splitting up the signal even when the ports are not being used Your friend is 100% incorrect. A reasonable switch ($25) is 10/100/1000 on all ports, independently, and all the time.

A modem/router with more than 4 ports is obscenely expensive. If you need more ethernet ports, a $25 switch will do the trick. Upvote 0 Downvote

If what your friend says were true...my main PC would be at a crawl. It isn't. Upvote 0 Downvote
