A couple of years back i had set up a home network (thanks to the invaluable advice that I got on this forum). The setup is as follows:
cable modem- Dlink 655 router-one lan connection goes to a central switch (Procurve) - which in turn has drops to various rooms including my home entertainment area.
This has worked very well for me so far.
The only one drop that goes to my entertainment area is currently connected to a tivo unit. However, I have just recently purchased a tv (with a lan port; no wifi) and i also already have a squeezebox touch in the same entertainment center. Given the addition of this yet another internet enabled device, I was wondering what i should buy so that all three units (the tivo, tv, and squeezebox touch) can use ethernet access.
I am presuming it should be a switch? but i am not expert and dont want to end up buying the wrong thing.
Many Thanks
