| It shouldn't matter what port you plug stuff into as far as output. Generally you should plug into the first port for input. Although it may not even matter. In my setup I have a cable modem -> Dlink wireless router -> a 5 port switch and few pcs -> another 5 port switch and a few more pcs.
The last 5 port switch goes to all my console systems. So its at the end of a chain cable modem -> router -> switch -> switch. I stream divx movies to it without any problems, download my demos relatively fast. Torrents on pcs at the end of the switch chain work great and I get my full 8Mbit download speed plus more. |
