susandennisThe network is all set up and locked down and everyone seems ok with it. The TiVos, the phones, the computers and the webcam. I can't find any wrinkles yet.
On one side of the room, I have the TV, the TiVos, a switch and the cable modem.
On the other side of the room I have the router and another switch and the computers.
Right now I have the cable from the modem to the router and the cable from the one switch running across the hallway which I hate.
I'm thinking I'll move the router over to the TV side and then plug the switch on the computer side into an extender (which is now currently in the bedroom but not needed really). Then no cables across the hall!
But, I'm going to leave well enough alone at least for a week and maybe a couple. We're a good six weeks and probably more like sixteen weeks from Sheri's redesign being implemented so I've got time.
Now I'm going to relax, watch some TV and it me a bear.
It feels so good to feel good.

So I get the two bits at your link. I plug them into electricity. I wire one to the router via ethernet and one to my switch via ethernet and boom, I'm good?
