Airport Extreme and Adding more ports

[Ruben_Borges]

Greetings everyone!

This is my first post and I hope someone can help.
I have an Airport Extreme base station that I bought a couple of months ago and it works great with my wireless and non-wireless products. I just have one problem, there aren't enough ethernet ports for my wired procuts (X-box live, ReplayTV, Network printer, etc. . .).

Does anyone know If it's possible to add more ethernet ports by buying a seperate splitter or something so that I can have everything connected all at once?

Any replies would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

go buy yourself a hub of your choice and plug it in the lan port. i have two asante hubs in mine, they work great and they auto detect the uplinik cable so there is really nothing to do besides plug and play.

Thanx for your reply. I'll go ahead and try that.

Yeah, I think we use a NetGear to plug in a few PC laptops and an old G3.

Our wired yet wireless home network...

if you got a few more dollars buy a switch - they are much much better when it comes to networking.

I'll vouch for Asante also - they make great, easy to use products.
