Simple Network Question
-
Hey all, I have a very simple network question.
How can I distribute my full network bandwidth to all the computers. As in, currently although I get about 30mbps to my router, since 4-5 computers are connected to the router, each gets a split bandwidth of only about 6000+mbps.
I do know that switches are able to provide full bws (bandwidth=bw) to all the ports unlike routers. But they are not able to distribute internet traffic if they are connected directly to the modem, correct?
So if I were to buy a switch and connect it in such a way (shown below) will it provide full bw to all computers?
SCV Socket ---> Modem ---> Router ---> Switch ---> All computers.
Of course at router to switch is just one to one connection. But will the bw be already split by router (just a normal linksys router)? I think so right? If it is then no point.
Or the only way is to buy Cisco all-in-one devices? So expensive for home networks though...
How now brown cow? -

I don't feel that it's simple.
The way Starhub works, getting a switch might not help. You will get full speeds if you are transferring files from one PC to another (within a LAN). Once they are out to the Net, it will be automatically split.
That's theory, but whether it's true, have to test out.
On a sidenote, you nearly got all network devices for a network, short of getting a hub. -
Yeah.. I know LAN can transfer 100Mbps theoretically with normal switch/router.. I wanna try and experiment.. By right shouldn't work or should be very expensive to get it to work I think.
The most easiest is get more Starhub accounts! Haha..
Hmmm.. Come to think about it, can a single house have two accounts? Because as far as I know, all the SCV outlets in my house are from one single one which is allocated to each house. So if there are two accounts, where will I connect the other modem to? lolz.. -
Seriously, I prefer a comment saying "What a n00b" or "Stupid TS" then ur f*cking rolling eyes alright? If you don't wanna bother then please keep your rolling eyes to yourself.Originally posted by caleb_chiang:
Thank you. -
If have the money, can test.Originally posted by coolgeek84:Yeah.. I know LAN can transfer 100Mbps theoretically with normal switch/router.. I wanna try and experiment.. By right shouldn't work or should be very expensive to get it to work I think.

Starhub uses cable rather than phone lines, so I don't think it's possible. Maybe yes, need some configuration of some sort.
Last question I really don't know... if first part can work, then can start working on this one. -
so generous ah..distribute equally

I'll be back after a bit more research :p
