Network switches
Gaming doesn't have to be a single person activity and it certainly doesn't mean that you as a gamer have to sit alone in front of the computer screen. With the help of a network switch you and your teammates, or opponents, can connect your computers in order to play with each other. We have network switches from several different brands and in many price categories. Here, you will find network switches from, amongst others, Netgear, TP-Link as well as D-Link and Lanberg.
Why get a network switch? Isn't it enough with a common repeater or booster when playing with more than one network unit? We are convinced that when you test a network switch you will quickly realize why this is the best choice. With a network switch each and every unit has its own network address, which means that you can decide who or which units in the network can receive the information that is sent from the network switch. This is not the case with a repeater that lacks the ability to filter and therefore sends all the data to all units in the network. A network switch is therefore much smarter and better adjusted to gaming than a repeater.
There are switches with different speeds, and the most powerful are called gigabit switches as they can send many gigabits per second. At the same time, they are designed to be energy saving and minimize the risks for overheating. If you are just a few players, a hot tip from us here at MaxGaming is to choose a network switch that regulates the power consumption depending on how many network units are connected, or how long the network cable is. Are you too many players to use only one network switch? No problem! Several switches can be connected together, thus giving access to more network ports. Of course we also have extra network cables should you need them!
