so around next week i am moving to a new home and i need to lay down a new network there. i am planning to have the network like this:
modem- 8 port switch (tp-link tl-sg108e)
and then connect my pc, my parents pc, the wifi router's and the xbone to the switch. and the laptop and mobile phone's to the wifi.
is this a effecient setup and what should i change to make it better?
but how it is now is that al the devices exept my pc are full of adware, spyware and other bloatware. and i am always the person to fix it but they always give it to me when the device is already gone to hell.
so what i wanted to do is setup one old pc to analyse the packets that are going to the network and let me see wich computers are sending out suspicious packets. so i can remove the problem causing software before its getting worse. does anybody know how to set a pc up so i can see the suspicious packets and figure out whats happening.
info:
the old pc: i believe it has a pentium 4 2.66 ghz aint 100% sure about it with one onboard lan chip so i definitely need to buy one pcie one to monitor the packets i think? btw this pc has no os yet
the wifi router: em4570 gigalink 300n works pretty wel but i need to turn off the dhcp i believe? if i am going to have the setup like explained above.
thanks in advance for all the answers
and sorry for all the grammer and spelling mistakes wich i am sure i have made
and i am pretty new to networking so if i am having too wild idea's just let me know.
