Urgently need a networking hub/switch (*NOT* a router, just a "dumb" hub) in either the Morristown or Clark, NJ area. Tried the local best buys and radio shacks, either they're not open or all they stock are home-type routers, not hubs.

 

Ideally 10 ports or more, would prefer a 20 port.

 

Any leads to any in stock in a store that's open appreciated, or if you have one to sell/loan.

If you needed a 5 port, might of been able to help you.

Btw, some Targets are open.

Staples should have your standard netgear prosafe switches. I don't know if any are open though, I know my store hasn't had power since Monday.

If I was at work, I could give you one but the town I work in is still without power.

Thanks, but 5 port alone won't cut it. Targets have only had routers. Will try staples.

 

 

can it be 10/100 or does it have to be 10/100/1000?

10/100 is fine. Currently have two 8 porters but really need more and would prefer one big switch

 

I have a HP Pro-Curve 1800-24G 10/100/1000 It's a smart switch.

 

I probably have a dumb switch around here. I'll keep looking.

I also have a linksys 10/100 24port unmanaged switch.

Thanks malsua, but I doubt i can spare the time or gas to get it from you, at least in the short term

Are you trying to hook up your whole neighborhood with internet? =P

I work off of exit 63 on 80.

No, nothing as altruistic as that-emergency, temporary move of dept. From a well-cabled but powerless building to a powered but un-cabled building.

Can you run two or three 5 port hubs connected together? I think staples sells the hubs.

Yes, I'm doing that now with two 8 porters, but that reduces the number of ports available as one port on each hub is taken up with linking them together.

 

Had a brief flash of hope today - a flatbed-trailer-size generator was installed at our original work site, but it only lasted half a day until it broke down. I have a feeling we're going to be at this alternate site for at least another week.

I have 2 5 port 10/100 hubs, and on 1 8 port dumb switch here in Old Bridge/Matawan area. PM me if interested.

Staples near me re-opened, picked up a 24 port switch for Monday. Thanks to all who offered.
