Well most of you would recommend me a switch or a router, I do have that as an option but I would like to know whether Its possible to use the usb an the lan outs together.

I have the modem downstairs and a wire going to my wifi router upstairs, so If i could just use the usb for the laptop here and the lan going to the router it could save me money.

I saw at the sterlite user manual, that both can't be used together, have any of you tried this out ? What are the other options that I have ?
Rs. 600 on a 8 port switch ? but then I'm using only 2 of them, won't that be a waste of money .

Please help me out on this one, thanks .

u can use usb port & lan port of mt882 for simultaneous browsing from 2 diff pcs with gateway as 192.168.1.1 for both pcs IP must be different like 192.168.1.3 for one pc
192.168.1.4 for another pc

usb & eth act as a 2 port hub
