currently i have a cisco router providing DHCP. and a few linksys switches that provide ethernet connections / internet to 10 desktops and IP phones at each desk. also have a linksys wireless connection attached for the firewall and about 4 laptops.


we're renting an office suite down the hall. all the cabling is done. now i'm going to be adding 10 pc's and maybe 5 more wireless laptops.


what all do i need?

we have a T_1. THOUGH, i'm afraid i may later have some slow response issues after all this is set up.

Does the cabling connect the two suites?
if so, all you need is another switch to add enough port density and an AP.

yeah the cabling connects the two suites. it's actually 2 cables. they divided the new suite into to patch panels. i'm considering one panel for voice the other for data. so I'll have to uplink the 2 cables from my 2 switches in the old suite to 2 new 12-port switches in the new suite.

i think it should work. are the linksys switchs plug and play or will i have to configure them. i have a router doing DHCP already.

AFAIK, linksys switches are unmanaged.
