Evening all.
I am a Warden in an undergraduate hall and I would like to get my networking sorted properly as I live here all year round. I only have 1 ethernet port in the flat.
I currently have a PS3 and a PC plugged into an old netgear 54g router with the wireless disabled as I don't need that.
When I turn the PC on (PS3 is off) I have to unplug then plug the router in every single time in order for the internet to work. Getting the PS3 to work on the network is a PITA and getting both PS3 and PC on the network at the same time is not possible at the moment.
With one of them I can log into the settings via the 192.168.... route and when I am using the other I can't (so suggests it is going off a completely different IP i.e. from the network itself).
Would getting a nice and cheap <£10 switch do the trick?
I have proof read my explanation and realise it is poo but I am a bit lost
