Ok, for my next project i want to try get a gigabit network working in my home.
I currently have a 10/100 setup with 3 pc's and a laptop all connected through a US Robotics ADSL Router.
Ideally i would not want to add a ADSL modem into the picture but all gigabit switches i have seen do not encorporate a ADSL modem into them so i am assuming i will need to get a ethernet modem to put into the Uplink port.
I have a couple of questions tho,
1) What is the easiest to use Gigabit switch currently available
2) I currently have UTP 4 pair Cat 5e patch cables running around my house, would i need to change/replace these?
3) Is there anything additional i should know before i begin, or is it as simple as creating a 10/100 network
Thanks in advance
