Network lab setup
I have been attempting to set up a small computer lab in my classroom, as well as provide internet connection to other classrooms in my building. My current diagram is
modem
4 port router
computer1 computer2 computer3 switch
computera computerb computerc
Currently, I've been trying to set up mini labs in other classrooms, but when I use a router in their rooms I get no internet signal. (This is all hardwired, we have no $ for wireless capable PCs). Here's my question: should I be using switches in all cases after the router connected to the modem? Will that router provide security for everything after it?
Thanks!
