Ten minutes after writing that I recollected I possess a non-working
router. It is the first I bought (> 100 GBP) and has not yet beem
re-cycled.
My network also hasn't any spare LAN ports to connect to and some of
the devices have beem wireless-enabled to communicate with them.
Now - could I use this non-internet-capable router as a switch?
See what I was getting at? An idea that is unrelated to your first
post. Carefully phrased or not, a thread cannot be actively channelled
to meet the demands of its originator.
