Title: Switch in Series
Post by: mickkassem on March 17, 2011, 04:51:35 PM
I am sorry if I posted in wrong forum but could not find switch forum.  I have following:

Cable Modem --> Wireless Router -->  D-Link Switch ----cat5----> Computer

I wanted to take the cat 5 from the wall outlet currently going to my computer and "split it" to go to the computer and an internet read HDTV in same room. I tried a hub but it caused the speed at the computer to drop by 75%.  I then tried a second wireless router but the computer would not connect to the internet (shown below).

Cable Modem --> Wireless Router -->  D-Link Switch ----cat5----> 2nd Wireless Router ---> Computer and also ---> HDTV

Should I have used another switch instead?
