network features in 1 device?

4th September 2005, 12:50

Hi there,

I'm looking for a device which has the following all in one:
- ADSL modem
- broadband router
- 8 (yes eight) port switch
- wireless connectivity

Most of the devices I've found so far only have 4 ports, but it's really necessary for me to have eight.

I know an alternative is to place wireless NIC's in some clients and buy the 4-port solution, but I was just wondering if an 8-port device like that exists?

thanks

buy an extra 8p switch (€25) and attach it to the adslmodemrouteraccespoint with a crossed cable?

thanks for this alternative, I know that's also a possibility but I first want to try and see if I can get it all in 1 device

if not I'll choose an alternative

I have been searching for the same thing, but I wound up with the USR ADSL-router-AP, and a smaller seperate USR 8 port switch.
They stack nicely one on top of the other. Off course you'll need 2 power sockets.
