My girlfriend recently got satellite internet. Her daughter of course needs to use it also (as will I soon). I thought a router would be the thing to use for all 3 of us to hook into to use the 'net, but a friend here said a hub/switch will be just fine. Which is better? Which would allow all 3 of us to be 'online' at the same time the best (meaning, which/what would try to even out the bandwidth we use if all 3 of us were online at one time?)? Is the switch good enough? It seems to be working well enough for the two of them as it is, but I'm just curious if there's something that might be any better.
I use a Linksys 54G wireless router (4 port) and have the modem authenticate my internet connection using PoPPE. With this set up I have had 3 desktop computers and 2 laptop (wireless) running at the same time with no depreciation in connection speed. HTH Alan
