What kind of organization are you sitting it up for? You would be better off buying an old 3com switch off of Ebay or something.

They sell this one for $70. So for $140 you can have all the ports you need with room to spare.

Subject: [MLUG] Question about setting up a network on a budget


I am in need of 25 to 30 ports.
This will include a couple of printers.
Can I simply daisy chain 4 or 8 port routers together to get to the
number of ports that I need, and still be able to communicate between
all of the windows boxes on the LAN?
Or should I go in search of a single unit router that has enough ports.
Thanks
