I'm expanding my home set-up and needed to go to an 8-port router. I
purchased a Linksys BEFSR81 router with 8-port switch. It comes with the
requisite Windows disk and warnings to run the disk before installation.
I figure I'll hook everything up then use the web interface to make any
adjustments. One of the ports will be my wireless router. Five ports
will be for computers. Haven't thought through much more of the
installation than that.
I have one Windows machine and 4 ubuntu (in various stages of upgrades --
everything from 8.04 to 9.10).
First time I've done something of this magnitude; looking for any lessons
learned, suggestions, time savers, etc that will reduce the cries for
help when I get around to doing the actual installation.
FYI, I'm pairing the router (or is it a switch -- can't keep those two
straight) with a new Trendnet 8-port KVM box.
Knowledge level is just above clueless. Pointers appreciated.
