I have a router DLINK 4 ports and 8 computers now i bought a surecom(EP-808SX) 8port 10/100M ethernet switch how can i connect the mini switch to the router in order to have an internet connection of the other computers?
If the switch doesn't have an "uplink port" or autodetect the port speed, then you will need a crossover cable to connect the DLINK to the Surecom switch. If this is the same issue then rate this one so it can be closed. If not then let me know how it goes. Good Luck

My 4 ports on my Belkin g-router (F5D7230-4) are used up and I have a spare older Belkin b-router (F5D6231-4) that I would like to use as a wired switch. I need one more port for a recent Tivo HD purchase. (apparently it only uses their proprietry adapter for the wireless g connection and it's expensive). I figure this switch can be the hub for the living room tv accessories. I don't need the wireless access of the old b-router and there is an "Access Point Mode" on it. Is it as simple as enabling it? Do I need DHCP to assign IP addresses for each toy requiring internet access. Thanks.
