Which would be the best option for hooking up 2 or more Internet devices up to the splitter/switch/hub, getting no significant speed loss, and both working at the same time with individual local IPs? I have 60Mbps Internet.
I am having friends over with at least two more computers, and our router is all the way across the living room; a hallway and room away. I somehow managed to install a single Cat 6 Ethernet cable through the attic and out the walls, but that only connects one device currently. Any tips on what would be the best option for my situation?
1While this question has been answered well, i would like to point out that hubs are rather obsolete nowadays, and switches are fairly inexpencive, so if you have to choose between the two , switch is pretty much always the correct choice – Jarmund – 2015-10-10T07:13:41.320
