Re: need help.... You should assign each of the 5 PCs you have with the 5 IP addresses from your ISP after connecting them to the switch.

Hi baby_bratz, What you read is true and you'll only need 1 IP address from your ISP. This means you can stop paying and ditch the other 4 IP address that your ISP gave you unless you have plans of using it in the future for some sort of server.

ok, so if i will get a router how can i configure my IP address to it? can i just get any router or is there any router that you can recommend?
