Hi all.

I currently connect my laptop to my PS3 via a wireless router as the modem is in another room. I like to stream HD content to the PS3 via TVirsity however this lags when trying to play 1080p content. I would connect this all with wires but my wife would kill me leaving cat 5's all over the house.

Works a treat too with a wired connection.

Anyway I brought this netgear switch to solve the issue:

I feel silly as I don't know what a switch is but my questions is can I wire in my laptop and ps3 together on this device to send data to each other like on my wireless network?

Thanks,
David
