Switching between Two PC's ?
Hello,
Presently have my desktop pc connected via an ethernet cable to my house Router. The Router talks to my Comcast box. If I get an additional PC for my kid, due to space limitations, they would both be located pretty close to each other. We can share a single Monitor between us by just using one of those HDMI switches, but would rather not switch physically the Ethernet cable. Could a new PC connect to the Internet wirelessly via the Router, while leaving the original PC connected via the Ethernet cable ? Good way or doing it, poor approach ? Caveats, etc. ? Better approach ? Thanks, Bob |

1 pc wired and 1 pc wifi is fine, ditto 2 wired. Usually wired is faster than wifi. As for monitor sharing, depending on your pc outputs and monitor inputs, it might be possible to have the 2 pc's connected, and switch using a button on the monitor ie select input.

I'd go with a 2nd monitor if possible unless you are sure there will not be times when both PCs need to be used at the same time.
I have two PCs connected through a KVMS (DVI) switch and it works great. One is a web server and the other is my daily use desktop. I occasionally look at the web server but that use never interferes with my desktop use so the switch is optimal for me. |
