Netgear Switch vs Linksys Router?

[Blammo300]

I just got a new DSL modem that acts as a router also but not wireless. I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router and a Netgear FS105 switch lying around.

I would prefer to use the Linksys because of the wireless feature but I was wondering if have a router behind another router would cause any issues that I would have with the switch?

Basically I just want to know if my internet will have the same speed and no problems if I use the linksys router behind my DSL modem/router?

no problems, just make sure to follow Jack's tutorial: ezlan - router as an ap

There will be no problem with the linksys router. The dsl modem will assign the router an IP address, they linksys router will then assign each pc an IP typically 192.168.1.x . There should be little to no loss in speed except naturally the more users that are on the connection at one time the slower it is for each user. Let me know if you need help setting up your router!
