Switch + router

[romka]

Hi.
Im currently connected like this Internet->Router(for wifi)->switch->PC.
The thing is that the router's switch ports are 10/100 and my internet connection is 300. So what i need to know is how to connect like this Internet->switch(10/100/1000)->PC+router(wifi).
Because when i try to connect the second way the IP on my pc and on the router are the same and they conflict with eachother.
Anyway...i tried asking if i can get a second IP, they said that its not possible. So any help would be awesome! Waiting for answers, thx

you cant...this would put your switch and PC before the router on the public internet, plus you only have a single public IP. only the router is capable of things like NAT, DHCP, and routing.

get a new router with gigabit capabilities or be happy with 100Mb internet speeds.

if your internet connection really is 1/3 of a gigabit then wow, and yeah you will want a gig router.

if you actually mean that your wireless N speeds are 300mb, then dont worry about the 100mb ethernet ports because those are still faster then 95% of wireless N connections.
