  • Need Help w/ Internet Cafe LAN Setup

    Hello Im planning on starting a 16 computer Internet Cafe business in philippines running from a DSL connection. I was wondering if someone could help me out with the hardwares to connect the computers to the internet. Which setup would be faster and/or better for my internet cafe (mainy focused for gamers):
    - 16 port router
    - 4 port router + 3x 5port switch/hub
    - 2-4 port router + 16 port swtch/hub
    - 16 port switch/hub
    Any other suggestions on how I can make the connection faster/smoother (i.e proxy server)? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    I would go with a router for LAN games if that would work fastest, but I dont know well.

      go for switches rather than hubs
      you can use Smoothwall as your proxy server, it will speed up your internet access - the smoothie just requires an old pc to run on. (note there are customised version to d/l from the smoothie forums - much better that the standard one)

      if you want to add wifi to the mix, you could also look at publicIP/zonecd
