    I have used several of these bad boys in small offices for expanding a single ethernet run for use with multiple devices. They wall mount easily, and are compact and reliable. At less than [$], I keep one in my truck with my spare Ethernet cables in case I need one at a client's office.

              • Q:

                I have a wireless G cable Gateway with 4 ports for network connections. I have filled all 4. Can I use this netgear devise to add an additional 5 ports. This is just a home network without heavy use.

                  A:

                  Yes, this switch can add 5 ports to your network but you will lose one of the 4 on your wireless gateway. So you will end up with 8 ports for devices to connect to.

                  A:

                  Hi, Ron -

                  Some people use switches to get extra distance, but I don't think distance is the problem in this case. Ethernet can easily go 300 feet or more even at 100 Mbps.
                  - If you are trying to connect using USB, you are too far away.
                  - Try bringing the PC right next to the high speed modem. If it works OK there, troubleshoot the 100 feet of cabling.
                  - Some modems use a method called PPP (Point-to-Point-Protocol) that requires a password. Perhaps you need to configure your PC to give a PPP password?

                  In any case, your Internet Service Provider will gladly talk you through the steps at their help desk. Give them a call!

                  Good Luck,
                  / Jim

                  According to the user's manual you can attach a device with a cable up to 387 feet long. This should work for you.
