And I suppose 1000mbps isn't worth it for my plan of just using it to keep the backup on my laptop updated and make Lan's easier.

NO, A 10/100 SWITCH IS NOT CAPABLE, of doing what you want to do. Refer back to my link on neweggs' website. You want a BROADBAND ROUTER with a built in 4 port switch, and you may or may not want one with wireless lan connection built in also. The key word your looking for in your product search is ROUTER. You can get get a good one for 60 to 70 dollars and sometimes with a mail in rebate. Best Buy has em usually on sale and with mail in rebate. Linksys is the brand I recommend.
