Can anyone advise on this?
I have a home network with a BT Home Hub 2 as the router. This feeds into a 24 port Netgear switch which runs the network.
I have just run 2 cables to my garden office but I have no ports left in my switch. I do however have spare ports in my BT Home Hub (I only use one to feed into the switch).
If I connect the 2 garden office cables to the BT Home Hub will anything in the office see the whole network (specifically the NAS drive that I connected to the switch)?
If at any point I wanted more ports in the office and connected a switch there (connected directly to the router) will that cause issues? Or should I connect the office to switch instead and then the second switch will be daisy chained to the first 24 port switch?
