'10/100 Auto Midi/Mdix'

There are eight sockets with labels tx1 tx2.....tx8.

we have connected the cab. modem to tx1
and the pcs tx2-5.

Is it a case of a new router?
mate, this isnt a router its a switch there.....you need a router, standard routers have only 4 ethernet ports, switches vary between 4 and 24 at least the ones that are affordable. so get yourself this little thing here and you save yourself a lot of trouble.
Post 6 lol Nice cheap router with a print server there, maybe we should ask for a review if it works for the poster
