Hello everyone,
I am asking what may be a very basic question, but I cannot seem to grasp it properly. I am a new homeowner and am installing my own wired and wireless network throughout my house. I have already mapped the devices and pulled the wiring to location, and am in the process of termination now. However, my understanding of the hardware needed to run the system is less than stellar.
I have a Netgear JGS524Ev2 and an N750 wireless router. I also have the modem supplied by Comcast. My understanding is that a router goes between the modem and the switch to provide internet to all the wired locations - this router does not have to be particularly powerful, so long as it has enough throughput and simultaneous connections? Is this accurate? I have 50mbps services from Comcast, it seems that most routers can provide well in excess of this Wan-LAN throughput - am I missing something? Finally, as this will be something we are not accessing very often and does not appear to require a great deal of capabilities, is there a recommended model or brand for reliability?
Thank you for your assistance and expertise!
