Xclaim Ethernet

[eagerigor]

So my mum wanted a new wireless access point for the home as her existing one (the one we got from the ISP) just isn't working. I found the Xclaim Xi-3 and found that it was suitable for my (and her) WIFI needs but couldn't deduce whether it would have enough Ethernet ports or even if it HAS full speed Ethernet ports If it does not then I can get a network switch (only me and my mum use Ethernet for our PCs but my brother will be using it soon also).

Most access points, including this one, wll usually have a single ethernet port that give it ethernet for the wifi. It is not a router, and will not have a built-in switch. If you look at its specs and features it does say it has a single 10/100/1000 port.

well what is your current network setup? Do you currently have a router that does everything, and thats not working? Or do you have a AP and a router, and the AP just isnt working.

then you can probably just hook up the AP to your current router and you should be all set once the AP is set up. router will continue to route stuff, and the AP will provide wifi.
