When do I need a hub, a switch or a router?

Fast ADSL
The router allows you to make a connection between your network and ADSL, so that more than one computer in your LAN can access the Internet. Certain models may give you further options such as security (firewall). A hub is the point of connection for the router and the computer to connect to the network. A switch acts like a hub but allocates an independent bandwidth to each user. This means the data transfer speed will not be decreased by additional users.

Q: What are the differences between an Ethernet switch and a hub?

Frequently Asked Questions for Gigafast Brand Switches
A switch has chips to store MAC addresses of the connected clients. Hubs do not. Therefore a switch can send packets directly to the intended computer based upon the header of the packets. Hub is different, when hub receives packets, it will broadcast packets to all the clients that are connected and that costs traffic. A switch is more efficient than a hub.

Can I just plug the EthIR Beam into my own Ethernet hub without your EthIR Switch?

CSI Technical F.A.Q.
No. An EthIR Beam receives infrared frames from an infrared device and delivers these to the EthIR Switch. The EthIR Switch then translates these infrared frames to Ethernet frames (and vice-versa) forwarding and receiving frames to and from an Ethernet network. An Ethernet hub cannot translate infrared frames. That is the purpose of the EthIR Switch.
