Hazz Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Hey,I have a linksys modem and a wireless linksys router. The router is dieing and i was looking at network switches since they are so much faster. But is there some way to either firewall it or secure it in someway?

robroy Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 not sure but I think a switch acts as a firewall the same way as a router does. you should still use a software firewall as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hai-Etlik Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 For your purposesA switch just connects things together.A NAT Router does the trickery needed to "share" a connection to your ISP. It generaly includes a hub or switch in the "inside" interface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
