Hi Gary, ATM I have a Netgear 834G Modem Router as the first 'stop' on my incoming ADSL path. As you may know this has both wired and wireless capability. I have 3 x Cat 5e cable connections going to various rooms in the house and one Cat 5e cable going into the workstation immediately at the side of this 834G. One room cable is unused (currently no components in that room), one goes into the room where the laptop is situated, into a 'plumbed-in' wall plate and I have the laptop permanently wire connected to this outlet. FWIW the laptop is wireless enabled and the signal in that room is reported a excellent so it is also connected wirelessly. The last cable is routed into our lounge, which also serves as my main listening room and our main TV viewing room. In this room we have the following items all with RJ45 ethernet sockets and, because they are available, I 'have' to have them connected: - Logitech Touch, Sky box (satellite TV facility), Sony Blu-Ray player, Vaio MM PC So I have a 'cheapo' Tenda switch on the end of the cable incoming from the 834G and the 4 above items are coupled to that using short lengths of Cat 5e cable. In direct answer to your question the Touch is ethernet coupled to the Tenda switch which in turn is ethernet coupled to the 834G router. Cheers, Dave. -- DaveKen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DaveKen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85697 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
