We’ve 3 main Linksys switches , but in one point i needed to add extra point, then I decided to put a speedtouch modem as a switch for this extra point temporarily.
someone told me it isn’t good to use a speedtouch modem, that was my question.

thanks

ok bro

The only device we can say about don`t use is the hub as you know,so i don`t see any problem in connecting the new point with the modem even if you connect it through a hub it will work good as it only one point and the hub will switch all the data to it ….wish it will help
