We have ONE internet connections at 25mbps (but we would like to upgrate to 60mbps fiber)
But the recent 11 tenants (excluding me) have been complaining that when they use P2P software and download torrents the internet.. the internet goes down!, they also stated that the Switches/routers are a bit over worked and might need some re-configuration or something.
Here's the deal.
In total its 12 rooms, 14 laptops , 6 deskptops... we would like to just provide each room with a WIRED LAN/Cat5 internet connection! and if they want Wifi, they get their own Wifi router.
Question is how should this be wired?
things to take into note:
- One internet line in
- needs to be split into 12 separate wires
- each person uses ALOT of internet each day (P2P and Torrents) (i'd say aproxx. 15 GB a week! per person)
- Do we need routers or just switches to prevent the internet connecting from dropping when everyone it Downloading / Uploading..
We also have two (crappy) 8-port switches (that use DC adapter for a power supply)
Or perhaps u have a better solution?
