Hello everybody,
So here is the situation that I'm confronted with....
On the ground floor I have:
ADSL cable goes to router
Ethernet cable from router to CPL.
2nd floor:
Ethernet cable from CPL to my PC.
------------------------------------------------------
I work as a 3d artist and I need to connect multiple PCs between each other on the 2nd floor and transfer data between them. The thing is somebody told me that if i use a switch, the data will do this:
PC1 to switch > through CPL 2nd floor > CPL ground floor > router > CPL ground floor > CPL 2nd floor > switch > PC2
What I want is that on the 2nd floor the PCs can communicate directly with each other without going to the CPL and the router down stairs.
So what does an amateur network guy like me do? Do i have to put another router on the second floor meaning:
router ground floor > CPL fround floor > CPL 2nd floor > router 2 > to PC1...PC2...PC3...etc
Hope this is clear....I hope somebody can inlighten me
Cheers
