I am looking for a wireless firewall/router that also has at least 8 wired
ports. Does anyone know of a reliable router of this type that is supported
by its manufacturer?
I would suggest getting a linksys. they have strong antennas. They have 4
ports to plug in. I would suggest you just getting a Ethernet Hub from you
local store.
I didn't try the Linksys + hub combo. However, I did try the Linksys
wireless + wired router combo. Linksys provides information on how to do
this (i.e., daisy-chain routers). The results were disastrous. Linksys tech
support gave several suggestions, but none of them worked. The wireless
router would work sometimes. At other times, nothing would work at all!
Although Linksys' wireless router works fine by themselves, I'm reluctant
to use their routers in combination with anything else.
