Re: [H] access point
Harvey, I don't think so any longer. I only used Crossover cable years ago with early switches to 'uplink' between two or more switches and/or router(s). I believe that most of the current crop of switches all have ports that are completely auto-ranging and internally figure out whether to run a cable segment in 'crossover' mode or normal mode just based on who/what that port talks to. I know that this is true with my current Dell Gbit switches and DLink router. I only use normal CAT5E cables any more. I have not used my lonely 'crossover' cable (orange) in years! LOL!

Re: [H] access point
most newer switches are auto-configuring for standard or crossover. You don't even have to mess with it.

get 4-8 port gigabit switch and you'll be ready for any other peripherals that may come down the road.

Re: [H] access point
Harvey, Not being a network guy, there might be a better solution, but I'd probably hook up a 4-port switch (pretty cheap) to one of the router ports and then plug some of the other items into the switch.
