Hi guys.
I have a VM Superhub V2 connected to the PC and a server at one end of the room and all's good, I can see the server and transfer files etc.
At the other end is the TV, Sky+ box, Xbox 360 and Xbox One and a Blue ray box and a Home Cinema amp.
I have the 2 X-boxes and Sky + connected at the moment through an old VM router and they can access the internet fine but all I can see is the router from my VM Superhub V2 online interface and I cant configure the far router online.
So I need a box with 8 ports to allow for all devices at the other end of the room to be connected
I also need to be able to see the individual boxes so that I can set up port forwarding etc on the Xbox one via the browser interface. My partner is suffering from a strict NAT
and despite opening ports etc on the Superhub V2 I cant change the NAT for her to open. I suspect its the old router causing the problems and it needs changed anyway to allow more devices to be connected.
So what's the best bit of kit at a reasonable price that will look transparent to the xbox's but allow me to manage it, Or alternatively a non-managed switch even.
I was thinking along the lines of the Linksys SE2800 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
Thanks guys.
