So, let me begin by stating 2 things: 1 I'm not sure if this is the right forum to be posing in and 2 I don't know as much as I thought I did. So here is my situation, I am wanting to hardwire my ps3, xbox 360, pc, and wireless router all to my modem. So on cyber monday I bought myself what would seem to be decent looking ethernet switch. I plugged my modem up to the switch as well as my ps3, xbox, pc, and wireless router. The wireless router is the only thing that seems to be detecting the signal from the modem. I have scoured the internet looking for solutions. I keep coming across some people saying a router is a requirement and other people saying that they have their computers and game consoles setup using just a switch. So what I am wanting to know is if it is actually possible to hook up my computer, wireless router, and consoles up with my switch without having to buy a router.
