We got a wireless router right before christmas when I got my ibook and it only has 4 wires ports and no uplink port to add a hub. This is fine since we only have 4 wired computers but I want to add some D2OL rigs without having to buy wireless cards for all of them :stick:

Your router may have auto-mdix ports. If that's the case, from what I have read, you should be able to get a switch with auto-mdix capablilties and use a regular patch cable to hook them up.

yea you should just be able to plug in another switch and go. if that's not the case, you can easily set up one of the folders to be a router as well and connect that to your wireless.

just plug in another hub using a crossover cable...it's not like these need highbandwidth...

You can pick up a 4 port 10/100 linksys switch for like $25
