i've been searching for similar thread but can't find any...

so my question is, about starting a lan in an internet cafe. all my problem is what to use, isp modem->router->switch->10-13PC's, or isp modem->router->10-13PC's ? im a bit confused about the two.

and how many router ports and/or switch ports to purchase. that's all.. tnx in advance.

4 ports ang router dili makaabot og 10 - 13 ports.

dapat modem > router > switch > pcs

or

modem > switch > pcs .. kung ang imong modem kay pwede ma-routing mode like zyxel nga modem sa PLDT....... pero matud pa sa akong nabasa nga duna kunoy disadvantage kung direct modem to switch, kay magcge daw disconnect... ambot lang pud kung tinuod to, kay wa pa man sad ko katry anang direct modem to switch.
advice nako kay kanang first method kay mao jud na ang purpose sa router maong naay router.

nya 16 ports nga switch......

modem na sya bai pero naa nay routing capability. pwdi sya e function as mode lang aka bridge mode

please research about router and modem

technically sakto mong duha pero para sayon ra sa TS, ang tubag kay PWEDI RA ANG ZYXEL modem ipa router mode so mahimong ISP MODEM > 16port SWITCH > PCs ang connection.

Pwedi ra sad ISP MODEM > ROUTER > SWITCH > PCs

ideally...... di cguro na dapat gamiton ang gi provide sa ISP kanang prolink or zyxel modem/router. i'm not sure if it can handle all the traffic if the number of workstation increases

[MeMing]

basing from my more than 3 years of experience bai, kaya ra kaayo na hangtud 17 workstations... zyxel to akong gamit unya 24 port switch...

[r0mm3L]

mao bah, naa kay internet cafe nga 17 workstations?

[MeMing]

past tense nato bai... for more than 3 years... karon 4 desktops ug 2 mobiles nalang ko maintain sa ko gamay nga kabuang... basta wala nay dapat problima nga set-up maski walay router kay naa man na routing capability ang modem sa pldt...
