Hi internet
I'm currently a Shaw Cable 150 client. I believe the equipment i have is the Hitron CGNM-2250.
It has 4 ports for connections, which are 3 PCs mainly used for gaming, and an unused PS3. I'll be getting a Steam Link in the mail any day, and this will replace the PS3 wired connection.
I also have an external HD connected via USB to the Hitron that stores all our media so it's accessable by the PCs on the network.
There is no special setup. Everything is just plugged in and working.
The "tech guy" at my work seems adamant that i should add a switch to this setup. Other than "it will just work better" he can't seem to tell me why.
Is this true? Can i add a switch? Should i add a switch? If i should, how do i add it to the setup i have?
Thanks in advance, network gurus.
