Ed, yeah I would give your housemates a 3 outta 10 for knowing what they should get. A switch allows 1 computer to go on the net at anytime...never more then that unfortunatly or you have to have a really advanced switch from say Cisco and those come with a nice £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£ tag on them. so my best bet is get a proper router and you'll be up and running within 5 mins if you dont get yourself strangled in the wires

Paul, I've used it before working for Belkin and I have to say its excellent
no problems with it at all, my father in law got this 1 as well and even sharing the printer is a piece of cake.
so for students a well recommended piece of kit as you can just share the 1 printer
