Hello, first time poster here, I recently got asked if I could help out my aunt’s growing business she does tax prep and is moving to a new larger location, that is luckily already wired up, so she has all the wall drops she needs for her new onboards.
The location has a closet with patch panel all ready to go, but here is where I would need some help, since she is running the tax prep software on the server that emails and efiles thru the software, it basically installs clients to each computer for access thru a shared drive as it licensed, she never had any issues before with the router she was using from spectrum business plan, as she only had 2 computers wired in, the server and a network printer and it worked fine.
This new location has 8 total drops all running to a patch panel, and she is going to need all of them, so could she we connect a switch to the existing spectrum router and then connect to the patch panel? The bigger question is would the spectrum router be able to handle the traffic internet and server access all wired? Would we need a different type of router or switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: if I should be posting this somewhere else please let me know, thank you
