So, let me get this straight:
I have a cable modem, which plugs into the WAN port on my wireless G router. Then, I plug the 16 port switch into the 1st port on my router, and then all the cables run to the switch. But also, I put a single cable out ot the TV, and plug in a 6 port switch there too. Then the Router takes care of the DHCP? Isn't the cable from the switch to the router a huge bottleneck? | The router would handle the DHCP. Whether it is a bottleneck depends entirely on how much bandwidth the devices are using. If you really think you might use more then 100Mbit at a time (1080p is 45Mbit at most, for reference) then get a gigabit switch. I doubt you'll go over.
