Thanks for all the responses.

Thanks for all the responses.  Since TGB shut down I’ve been on my own trying to troubleshoot.

Like I said, I don’t want to screw with settings on it more than I have to, I just want it to work the way my current wifi router does: plug the devices into it and they all have access to the internet/to each other.

Just say for the sake of discussion I go to Best Buy tonight and buy their most basic 8 port gigabit switch.  How will I connect everything to it, and what about it is going to disappoint me and make me wish I had bought a better one?  What is it about the Xbox’s non gigabit connection that will cause a problem, what types of issues would they be?
