If your speedtouch is *not* a gateway type device, then you need the
router instead of the switch.  If it is gateway, then you can use either
one with the speed touch.

But, failsafe logic: what's the harm in using the router *even if*
the speedtouch is a gateway type device? I guess you can have a
classic 'battle of the hardware controllers' if so, akin to two anti-
virus programs battling over the I/O data stream coming into a
computer's port, but I'm just guessing....anyway, I found the model
(Speedtouch 536, now renamed), see below for info.


Stupid question #2:

Before we get too deep into stupid, please distinctly identify the
speedtouch.

Below is the information I copied and pasted from online. One clue is
that the SpeedTouch (aka Technicolor) 536 model is also called below a
"Gateway", which is an old-fashioned word for router (http://
www.webopedia.com/TERM/G/gateway.html), but in this case I think they
are using it in the 'modern' fashion to simply mean a proxy server
node for the ISP to look to, that also has a built in firewall. I
think the 536 DSL modem is not therefore a true router. But, worse
case, why don't I try both solutions (first the D-Link router then the
AsusTech switch, though logically I guess I should reverse that order,
but I'm pretty sure the 536 is not a true router--it also came 'free'
from a Greek phone company, and the Greeks are notoriously cheap in
giving away free hardware--I seriously doubt they would give away an
expensive router-built-in DSL modem--they undoubtedly gave me the
cheapest DSL modem possible)?

I appreciate your help...this will be very cool if I can do this...but
it's rarely this easy with computers...we'll see.
