Not really. I think I am very bad at expressing what I want to know.
Having got my wired router I will connect it to my two PC's
I then have 4 slots which can be used to connect printers etc.
All I want to know is what type of cable connects the printer etc to the
router? and what are their connectors called at either end.
Hope this makes sense!
