Using a Network Switch

[Dr. Doctor (inactive)]

If I were to get a switch like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122111

Would plugging a modem into any port give it internet or do I have to find one with a designated Internet port?

These are autosensing and auto uplink. Put any connection in any port you like.

Even on older, cheaper ones?

When they get old enough, they usually have a port labeled as Uplink or something.
