All routers have LAN ports in back now days. Works same way as your router accept it has wireless built in.

i wasn't aware of that, i'm not a big fan of wireless.
but now i know.
it's a good day when you learn something new.
newegg has the 4500 for 139.99 with free shipping.
i'll have to give it some thought, don't think i would be gaining anything by getting it.

Might find some used ones or cheaper on amazon or ebay. If you only have 2 PCs connected at the moment and don't do much gaming, then what you have will keep you doing for a while.

As of right now my modem is connected to the 4100 router WAN port and with the 4 LAN ports I have my 2 computers connected and a ethernet cable going to my roomates room. I don't know exactly how he's setup, but he has his computer and he also has a wireless router conneted to it for 3 other people to connect to.

If it works, don't fix it.

Live long and prosper.

Enjoy.

I had some extra cash to spend, so i found a used DGL-4500 on ebay and with shipping paid 64.00. Should arrive by end of this week.

NICE. See you on the 4500 forum. Let me know if you need help setting it up.

[danhasmail]

Got the 4500 yesterday. At first it wouldn't work, the setup program kept giving me a message that it couldn't find it. So i pushed the reset button to restore factory settings and it found it right away.
Works good, i disabled the wireless feature since i don't use it.
In reality i spent 64.00 just to have the SB6120 modem link LED blinking blue instead of amber.
Oh well, i've done stupider things in my life. But am happy i did it.
Guess i'll move over to the 4500 forum from now on.
Thanks for all the feedback i've received here.

hey FurryNutz,
It seems like you are always in this forum, do you live here, lol.
I've noticed that many times when i try to get in this forum, my browser just keeps searching, like the site is down. What's up with that??? Any ideas?

[FurryNutz]

Ya man I acutally live in the Dlink servers. I get fed and they keep me warm. LOL. I'm on here when i can be.

Sometimes there are times when the servers are down. They were earlier today. Not sure why. Might be external users trying to do bad things. Been some spam here and there. Trying to keep it out. LOL.
Don't worry, things are still going. If it's down by chance, check with a different PC or device like a smart phone. If it's down there then give it some time. They get it back up pretty fast.
