stupid networking question
guys,
I happened to find a switch and a router on an auction site for roughly the same price.
If I pick up the router, I am thinking it will be a better deal (Cable/DSL Wireless-Ready Router). But I do not have a DSL/Cable (meaning Broadband??)
connection.
Q: Can I just connect about 3 computers using a router?
or do I have to go for the switch as I have heard that the router comes with built-in hardware firewall.
I would appreciate an answer, rather than a "yes" or a "go for it".
THanks
