I have a new high-speed Internet installation coming next week. The provider specifically told me that my package (device) will only have a single 10G Ethernet/LAN port. I’m planing to buy a few more computers and connect them by wired cables (instead of Wifi) to maximize the speed.
If I buy a Hub, will this work?
I found out a Hub does not issue IP addresses. So, will each computer be issued different IP addresses? And, if so, are the IP addresses coming from the device provided by the ISP?
If the ISP is nor providing a router (which is what is sounds like to me), you will need a ruter that has a 10G WAN port. The 10G interface provided by the ISP could be either an RJ45 port, or an SFP+ port. Your router needs to be compatible with whichever interface the ISP provides. Any additional switches you may need should be connected to a LAN port on your router.
