New!

I can run cables to each computer, it shouldn't be a problem. Please also check my comment!

Questions(3)

Hi! I have a few questions about the office: Do you have a server / hub / switch? How far apart are the 6 workstations? Are they in the same room or are they separated? Do the workstations have a network card / network cable slot? Thank you!

Hello Alin, the office is quite small and open plan... the longest run is 15m. Each work station is a desk with either a pc or a laptop. We have a printer which will need to be linked in. I can't afford a complex system I just want to be able to get my staff working.

I can do it for you! I might have to buy a switch, and will need to check the printer to see what kind of linking options it will have, but that shouldn't be a problem!

Alin, Many thanks,,, how much is a switch - there are 4 coaxial ports in the back of the router but we have 6 desk spaces. Thx When could you do this work? Davied

The switch is just under £20. I could do it this afternoon. Is there a parking space outside or reasonably near the office? I'd also have to buy cables, so it would mean 2 visits: first I need to estimate cable lengths, run to Curry's/PC World, come back and do it.

Hello! would you still like the task to be done? I am free tomorrow at your convenience, let me know. Thanks!

Hi Davied, I am an ex BT Engineer and my background is IT. I should be able to sort this out for you. However, I need to know the layout of the room (ie where the computers are in relation to the modem). Also, what type of computers are you using? (Apple or Windows) My advice would be to come to the office to have a look. Thanks,

Hi , I can run cat5 cable with rj45 connection to each computer. From router to each computer through switch.

You can use wireless router extenders

Hi , I can come without buying any equipment to see . Running cable to each computer is easy . Router have 4 port but need extend by switch to 6 port . May be more for printers as well. Printer depend how new is it .
