Hi there,

I am wondering if I can use Router and KVM switch together, I have 4
computers at home and they are connected to the router. Thanks for any
comments.

Faram.

Faram,

I have both a router and a KVM switch, and both work fine. But neither works
with the other. Does your router use a keyboard, monitor, or mouse? If not,
how is it going to use a KVM switch?

You should be able to control your router quite well thru the browser interface.
Is that not working for you?
 
Thanks for your respond, currently I am using 4 montior and 4 keyboards, That
is why I want to use switch.

This has nothing to do with networking. A KVM will enable you to use one
monitor, one keyboard, and one mouse with multiple computers. The
router is not involved at all.

Well buy a 4 PC KVM - then use your best mouse, keyboard and monitor on all
4 PC's - but some, like the one I have, even allow you to share USB devices
along with speakers and microphone.

Well, please get it to work. Then explain to us how it works. Maybe we can all
learn something.

Sure you can. I do exactly that at my house. The router gives
Internet access to all the computers, and the KVM switch lets all of
the computers share a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. My KVM
switch also lets them share a pair of speakers.

Hi

This is unfortunately all about the "Switch", I.e. Language Switcheroo :)

Network "Hub" as Nothing to do with USB "Hub".

Network "Switch" has Nothing to do with KVM "Switch".

Wireless "Security" has Nothing to do with Internet Connection "Security".

And so On and So forth.

Take a look here a lot of Switches and Ports; none of them have to do with
Ethernet.
