Thanks everybody for the speedy and helpful replies. To quickly answer "Tall" quickly - I actually have two FS105s before I realised I'd need the router the plan was to put one switch upstairs and connect my daughters PC to it (plus have a few spare sockets so I could connect my laptop upstairs if I wanted to). What I'll do now is get a router and put that upstairs and leave the switch downstairs where I will connect all my downstairs PCs - that'll leave me a switch to sell and recoup some of my router purchase cost.

@Rob - I did search the Forum before posting for just this kind of info - it's exactly what I wanted, it just didn't come up in my search. Thanks for linking to it.

I will let you know how I get on!

Cheers,

DaddyH
