Hello,
A friend of mine, who runs a photography business, asked me if I could upgrade his network to gigabit speeds for him. Right now he's got a (Netgear I believe?) wireless router with a built in 4 or 5 port switch handling everything. I was wondering, how difficult would this be for somebody who doesn't know a whole ton about networking? Basically I know how to setup a basic home network with wireless, like he has now. Basically, would I be able to just get a gigabit switch, along with gigabit capable NICs (If he doesn't already have them)? How much confiiguration would need to be done?
Also, for any equipment I would need to get, do you have any recommendations? Nothing too crazy high end.
Thanks
