Title: Simple Wireless Router Questions
Post by: seekdestroy16 on November 20, 2005, 03:48:23 PM

My question is if I get something like a D-LINK wireless router can I still use wires with it?. My dad has something like 5-6 Mac's in the house and we're using a linksys router which keeps shutting down. I'm getting the new xbox 360 and I'm thinking of getting a wireless router for him for xmas so that I can use my xbox 360 without drilling holes and putting a 50 foot wire through them just to get internet access. Let me know asap, and thanks in advance.

Yes.
Most wireless routers have four wired ports.
If the "5-6 Mac's" are all wired, you will need an additional 4 port switch.
Good luck!
