[QUOTE="geov, post: 789165, member: 26381"] Hi I would recommend that you make use of gigabit switch(s) to manage your normal network traffic. The great thing about a gigabit switch is that it’s really fast and it manages the traffic between devices without interfering with the rest of the network. Just make sure that cabling can handle gigabit traffic.... Your router will also plug into the switch to manage your Internet and Wireless traffic. Then also some people say that using static IP-addresses cut down on unnecessary DHCP lookup traffic...but I think its nonsense. Two network cards are usually only used for when one installs a firewall to protect an internal network from the outside world; I don’t see any benefit for your setup. [/QUOTE]
