My wireless router is slow as dirt, and I've been looking for a new one. ...
Collisions.
yep, any of those would do. It's a very standard piece of equipment.
I was talking to somebody else via email and they said somethin like this should work for my needs.

Basically the original idea was to expand one port in to many for the new mining equipment I'm gonna be geting that only networks via ethernet.

This is what I have...

They'd ALL have to support STP, to cope with loops.
Just get any router/hub and hook it up, you won't have any troubles.

Of course! You just whap on as many hubs as you like... just don't create loops.
Loops ?Unless you have an expensive router which handles Span-tree protocol (STP), the layout must be hierarchical. Can't have any lines duplicated or feeding back to somewhere down the same line.

Yes, that works fine, for IP management you can use your router's DHCP server do the job, or manually configure each device.
I usually let the router auto assin IP's then I will perma assign them in the rouers config if need be. I just wasnt sure if taking the one remaining port on the router and attachin it to a 20 port hub would work and not cause any issues.Now that that's out of the way...
Anyone know of a ggood 20 port ethernet hub that can be wall mounted with front facing ports kinda like this USB hub ?

Edit: Doesn't technically have to be wall mountable since I can industrial velcro the back of it.
So there's one port left on my wifi n router but I need at least 6.
Here's my question, if I havee one remaining port on my router, can I take say a 20 port ethernt hub and wire it to the only port left on my router effectively turning it in to 20 ports or will there be IP issues ?

i'm not sure as i've never done that.. but you could buy a cheap DD-WRT-able router, turn it into a bridge repeater.. which will extend your signal and give you 4 or 5 more ports.
Thats just the thing though, I know I could do that but the end result will be ultimately needing more than the 6 ports I need now which would mean bridge after bridge after bridge which is why Im curious about my original question.
