Redecorating my house, so thought it was a good time to stick in some network cables. I'm just after a simple set up here.
Thus....
Broadband (10M VM) modem in lounge

1m cat6 into Netgear GS608 8 Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
| |
| V
| 1m cat6 into HTPC in lounge
V
10m cat6 up to first floor to plug into: Linksys WRT54-GS wireless router
| |
| V
| 1m cat6 to NAS or something + wireless
V
10m cat6 up to 2nd floor and my PC
Hope that all makes sense and looks ok. Am i right in thinking i can use the Netgear GS608 8 Port Gigabit Desktop Switch just like a router to split up the internet connection? And then i'm assuming its ok to split this again by my wireless WRT54-GS router.
Is it easy enough to trim down lengths of cat6 and fix into wall sockets or put new 8P8C connectors on?
