Title: Need another switch for my miners but...
Post by: MoreBloodWine on March 26, 2014, 01:09:51 AM
Ok, so I already ran a 150' line downstairs for the noisy stuff, well I'm adding two more items but I can't run two more cords. That said, is there such a thing as like a 3 port ethernet switch I can get ?

Also, please link suggestions, Ty.

Really don't want to have to spend a lot like I did for my 24 port switch up stairs.

Here's the cheapest little switch that I'd trust.

You might want to consider an 8 port.  You know you won't be satisfied with just a few more miners.

That's actually a nice one, D-Links usually good with their stuff and you can't go wrong for the price.

Thx...

Will probably end up getting it if no one else posts any ideas.

Seems easier to just add a $25 wifi bridge (assuming you have wifi).  Look for a dd-wrt flashed one and search on YouTube for easy setup.  I have run 4 cubes and netflix off mine.
