gigabit ethernet

The gigabit ethernet tag on WindowsForum.com gathers practical networking discussions, including how to expand wired connectivity when a router runs out of LAN ports. A recent thread explains connecting an unmanaged Ethernet switch to an existing router port to add ports for PCs, consoles, and other wired devices without replacing the router or reconfiguring settings. The advice stresses checking usable port count, link speed, and switch placement, and notes that adding a switch does not raise the speed of your internet subscription. This makes the tag useful for Windows users planning straightforward wired network upgrades.
