Thanks Alexander, I'm thinking this will do the job https://www.amazon.com/GS108NA-Netgear-ProSafe-Ethernet-1000Base-T/dp/B000092RRM/ All of my hardware is old. I am thinking of an upgrade in 12 - 18 months and at that point will probably replace my router and WIFI.... Not sure if I will need to have 2 or more static IPs Most of my work is PHP programming on a private network using non-routable domains using the .internal TLD and I use the hosts files for DNS. I've run a LAMP+mail+BIND+etc using port forwarding. I do not see that in my future. Most of what I do is oriented toward PHP/MySQL... I use Linux to that ends. Thank You So Much For Your Help!!
