I am thinking of buying the Linksys Wired Router BEFSR41.  I have read that the wireless ones are slower.  Any information you have would be appreciated.  Does anyone know of any problems with setting these up where we have Hughes.net.  Thanks,

I have the 6000

I guess where I get confused is the addresses.  Hughes.net Tech says the Router will add a address automatically to the second computer.  Doesn't each computer need a separate address?  Sorry, I am not to savvy where this is concerned.

Your hughs modem only has 1 output....so if your only hooking up 1 computer then that is a true statement...

However if you are planning to use 2 or more computers...then each computer must have a wireless adapter plugged into it and then they need diffrent addresses to talk to the router.

I have 4 computers hooked to my 6000....3 are in the same room and run through a switch....and 1 is upstairs and runs through a wireless router....my 12 yr old hooked that one up..so it can't be too tough...lol

The router you buy will have simple instructions with it...but usually only comes with a single adapter for 1 computer...so you'll either need another adapter ..or a switch and cable...

Another questions:  Using this switch...on your 3 computers, can all computers be on the internet at the same time? Does the Router plug into the switch?
The wireless adapter I would have to purchase for each computer?  This is also needed with a hard wired router?
