How to Expand the Network Computer? That's the main problem will be discussed. One way to build a large network of computers is to use a hub. Are there any other better option? This article will guide you how to expand the computer network using a network switch.
Say you have a home network as shown below. The router only has 4 Ethernet LAN ports. Two ports are connected to a computer and a port connected to the notebook. You then still have a computer and a notebook that should be connected to the network, but you just left one Ethernet LAN port on the router, so how to connect the devices to the network and solve this problem?

The solution is easy. You can use the switch network to solve this problem. It is a device that connects multiple computers in computer networks, and computer-connected computer can communicate with each other. This switch is used to expand the computer network cable and the good news is these tools are not expensive.
There is a 4-port, 8-port, 16-port or 32-port switches are available in the market. Ethernet can be supported by this switch is 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps. 100Mbps switch usually be enough to support simple network unless you use a network Gigabit (1000Mbps).
Here's what you need to do: Buy a switch and connect the Ethernet port of the router's LAN port to one of the normal on the network switch using a crossover cable. If no uplink port on the switch, you can connect to the router using a wired Ethernet LAN port stright, but usually is not available for entry-level switch.
After that, you can connect a computer and a notebook with a normal switch port premises and using stright cable, ultimately they are all connected to the network and can access the Internet. LED lights on the switch will display the connected port. Please read the manual switch to know more about how it works as well.
