Re: two 3MB plans + 2 cable modems, 1 house, rip o

Okay, hold up. I want to get something straight since I was about to spend more money. Currently I have one computer hooked up to the 3Mb Charter HSI plan.
I was considering purchasing 2-3 more computers and a router so I could share the connection with all the computers.
However, the person in the first post said that with 3 computers it crashed his router. So is this even possible? 
I thought that if a router had 4 ports, you could hook it up to 4 computers perfectly fine.??
I have 6 computers on a router. Can have up to 254. You can add a hub to a port of the router, and have 7 ports. Add another hub and your have 11. And so on. Most routers allow up to 254. (Which hopefully if you have 254 computers, you'd invest far far more than $50 in your routing/switching equipment) 
Been using off the shelf routers for a long time. Very reliable.
Not sure why the poster's router crashed. |
