Q&A: Is it possible to buy an 8 port wired router?

Posted on January 11, 2016

tp-link-tl-r860-routerQuestion from Michelle K.:  I’m the office manager for a small local insurance agency, and I need your help in finding an 8 port wired router (if they even exist).

We have a total of 6 employees who need to access the Internet though our LAN. Right now we’re using two 4 port wired routers, one connected to the cable modem and the other piggybacking off of that one.

We’ve been having some intermittent connection issues of late and we’re wanting to replace the two routers with a single 8 port wired router if at all possible. I can’t seem to find one though. The only thing I can find are 4 port routers.

If hope you can help me find an 8 port wired router. Do you have any idea where we might be able to find one? We don’t want Wi-Fi, therefore the request for a wired router.

Posted on December 5, 2015

newsletterHello everyone. I hope you all had a great week!

By all accounts, Windows 10 is turning out to be a huge success for Microsoft.

If current estimates turn out to become reality, Windows 10 will soon become the most widely used version of Windows in history. There are several reasons for this:

1 – During the first year, Windows 10 is a free upgrade for current users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and apparently folks are taking advantage of the freebie big time.
