Get a switch
Dylan Lewis
Um... ok. Interestingly enough that isnt even a MAC on any of the interfaces on my switch

Buy another router. Connect it to your router.
Dominic Roberts
>Buy another router.
Why the fuck would he do that?
Buy a switch.

What does a layer 3 switch have to do with a router?
They're two different things
Hunter Stewart
Get a layer 3 switch, not a router
Hudson Barnes
>What does a layer 3 switch have to do with a router?
a layer 3 switch is a router
Carson Hill
It acts as a router, but a "router" is different from a layer 3 switch, since it uses a microprocessor and has Wifi and shit, so the L3 switch is usually cheaper and faster
Ryan Price
thank you for proving how retarded you are

>For the purpose of this discussion, Layer 3 switches are superfast rout-ers that do Layer 3 forwarding in hardware. In this article, we will mainly discuss Layer 3 switching in the context of fast IP routing, with a brief discussion of the other areas of application.
>microprocessor
everything has a microprocessor you retard

Return the switch Jamal

L3 switches use dedicated ASIC circuits, routers use the CPU to do all its heavy lifting, meaning a lot more latency
You're the retarded one, if you tell someone to get a router they're going to get a fucking Linksys not an L3 switch
Blake Ward
Switches are expensive
Easton Ortiz
Holy shit delete this

You can get 3750Es on eBay for under $200.

no, that is a absolutely retarded thing to say

Jose Bell
you can get 8 port unmanaged gbit switches for 10 bucks
Christian Powell
An L3 switch is cheaper than a router.
Parker Martinez
An L3 switch IS a router you stupid fuck
Bentley Parker
You're all fucking stupid
When someone says router, they mean pic related
Call an L3 switch an L3 switch, not router
It's like saying rectangle when you're talking about a square
Henry Rivera
Forgot pic related
Julian Hill
>Call an L3 switch an L3 switch, not router
Then why does my L3 switch support OSPF, RIP, BGP and other routing protocols?
That is a shit box which can only do NAT. GTFO with this consumershit.
Daniel Morgan
>That is a shit box which can only do NAT. GTFO with this consumershit.
It's still a router, and is what 99% of people (especially neophytes like OP) will think of when you say "buy a router"
If you want him to get an L3 switch, FUCKING SAY GET AN L3 SWITCH
Jayden Cox
obtain some unmanaged switch. they interconnect devices only, but that might already be enough for your usecase.
Jose Reed
Nobody's saying it isn't a router, but it's a specific subset of routers, so you should be specific instead of saying "get a router"
Jayden Reed
>a layer 3 switch is a router
but not all routers are dedicated layer 3 switches
ergo you should be specific
Nicholas Foster
Just because you're wrong doesn't mean you have to get so mad user
Nathaniel Sanders
I never said "get a router".
I never said they were.
I never said he should get a L3 switch.
Austin Harris
>I never said they were.
Then why are you butting into the conversation responding to and ?
Robert Ward
To point out that most of the people here are retards who think switches cant be routers.
I never responded to and I am
Tyler Watson
Buy monoprice 8 port switch, plug into router, done.
Henry Brown
OP just get something like this:

Want more ports than that has? Buy a 2nd one and daisy chain (plug 1 into the box you have now, and then 2nd into the new switch). If you have a typical home setup, they'll all recognize each other and just magically work right out of the box.
