Should I purchase a Router/Switch/Modem/Router
Hi everyone,
Before I begin stating my question let it be said that I am a dimwit in networking. I just learned from other people how to normally make it work and now the time's come that I actually have to do something and I can't really figure it out.
1. My home DSL is powered by an Aztech ADSL - DSL5001EN. Currently, the modem is set to PPPoE/PPPoA with a username and a password.
2. I have 2 PCs running on Wired LAN cards.
3. I do not want to purchase wireless adapters for either as I want to go wired on this.
4. I'd like to keep the Aztech as the DHCP server/router since it has a pretty good wireless range and all the features I need can be found on the GUI.
What exactly is the device I need and generally, what do I need to do to make it work the way I have it pictured?
Disclaimer: I may have mixed the terms a bit. I also know that I may not be making any sense due to the lack of knowledge I have in the subject. I wil not be held responsible for your brain and nose bleeds.
