    Benefit of a second router?

    if your refering to internet browsing being slow, then a 2nd router is not going to resolve the issue. To resolve the issue with the slowdowns, you will need to limit the bandwidth of your torrent application. There should be some sort of option for this in the program. The torrents are...

    house network, shouldnt i want a switch and not a router?

    the answer depends. If the modem is just a regular modem, then it will only be able to handle 1 device attached to it, because the modem can only issue 1 ip address aquired from the isp. If this is the case, then you would need a router attached to the modem(the modem then would give its ip to...

    Noob wants one PC to stay networked but offline.

    I see it as the pita would be having to go and then locate those machines and make the changes on them when the rules change in regards to what the machine is to. Having the ability to make that change at a centrally located spot would be more efficient IMO.

    I have a Netgear router, how can I make it into a switch?

    i would hook up directly to the netgear...isolate it..ie the computer and the router...change the routers ip address. If im correct d-links use the 192.168.0.1 ip address...at least mine does....if the d-link does use the same ip, then you will have an issue connecting to the netgear

    Wireless LAN: designate a permanent IP on each PC?

    also in the router in the dhcp area you can assign the ip address to the computer based on its mac address. So everytime that computer is on the router it will give that ip address to it
