At home I have a PC and two NAS boxes. Currently they are directly connected to the PC but I want to put all three devices on a network. I also have a crappy ASDL modem/wireless router which only has two 100 Mbps ports.
1. Am I right in thinking that I can connect the modem to the WAN port of a wired router with gigabit ports then connect the PC and NAS boxes to the router in order to get all three devices online and connectible to each other? I take it that given my ADSL is much less than 100 Mbps it doesn't matter if the link from ADSL modem to 1 GbE router is slow?
2. If so, what's the cheapest gigabit wired router available with at least three ports?
3. I guess laptops connecting to the ASDL modem/wireless router won't be able to see the three devices connected to the wired router?
Thanks,
