Gaming Network
Posted on Dec 16, 2007 under Game Talk |Our home network consists of three computers. Right now we use a simple router to connect them together. At work we used switches that are smarter than routers. While something like HDMI switches might be overkill for a home network, it could possibly be worth the investment.
We might be adding a fourth computer to our network this year. All of our computers have at least one casual game on them. A lot of casual games now have a multiplayer mode. We could play head-to-head in games like Diner Dash with a second copy of the game.
While we have never had much problem with our router, upgrading to a switch could be beneficial, especially with adding more devices to our network and more traffic with game play. It’s something for us to think about and research a little further before making a final decision.
