I have a Netgear Ethernet Switch GS105 , but I don’t think that I can connect it properly yet. It appears that I will need two extra Ethernet cables, one from my Router to the Switch and then another one from the Gigabit Switch to the Server PC or Mac, I am not sure which Cable Category that I should have for this or if it should be a special cable.
Correct: You will need two standard (not crossover) ethernet cables, one going from your router to port #5 on the switch, and the other going from your computer to any of the other four ports. The switch should have come with a cable.
Here’s some info about which cables types to buy: Cat5e vs Cat6 Cables: What are the Differences? https://www.bittree.com/blogs/get-connec…
