I've got a wireless router for my cable right now and everything works fine, but it's a little inconvenient, bc my dad's pc is opposite end of the house and doesn't get wirless so we have to rund a 100' ethernet cable through the house. i'm concidering slightly upsizing our network system since when ppl come over to play halo or lan party or something, i pretty much have to rewire the entire thing. would a new 308Mbs router connected to like an 18 port auto detect switch be more useful for lan parties and xbox/playstation online? a switch just is basically like a large router that automatically detects which ports are being used and can cut connection to the other ports so that the ocupied ports recieve more of the bandwidth?
