Warning: That Cisco 1921 is NOT a Linksys or Netgear router with a slick GUI that you can just keep clicking at until you get it to work.

If you were unable to figure out what a Cisco console cable is on your own, you're just not likely to figure out how to configure a device that complicated.

I encourage you to engage a small business consultant or a MSP or something.

> We need a console cable. What is a console cable?

You actually need two things:

1. https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Converter-Installation-Universal-TU-S9/dp/B0007T27H8/
   
2. https://www.amazon.com/Cisco-72-3383-01-Rollover-Console-Female/dp/B005S2KPPU/
   
   > We need a cable running from the GE 0/1 port to the firewall

   Not enough information provided.

I just got done building a new Kodi box and I have to tell you its the only thing I've ever built that's normie approved. And by that I mean my wife, kids, and a hoard of cousins.

I used a RPi 3 + LibreELEC and hats off to the LibreELEC team because the thing reboots in 17 seconds and I haven't had a single skip or buffer problem on 1080p video.

I think one of these should be on every TV.

I’m not 100% sure about this but I meant this - amazonbasics Ethernet cable

It has a LAN port so just get an ethernet cable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-RJ45-CAT6-Ethernet-LAN-Patch-Cable-0-9-m-Feet-Mbps/dp/B00N2VISLW/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1499693133&sr=1-4&keywords=ethernet+cable

[RJ45 Jacks] (http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=5376) - These would go on the ends of a phone wire that runs from router - to - pc.

[Patch Cable] (https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics%C2%A0RJ45%C2%A0Cat-6-Ethernet%C2%A0Patch-Cable--%C2%A03%C2%A0Feet-0-9%C2%A0Meters/dp/B00N2VISLW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1469027127&sr=8-5&keywords=ethernet+patch) - This would run from the ethernet jacks you just installed to the router. Another would run from the jack to your pc (on the other end of the wire that was a previous phone wire.)

You'd also need a punchdown tool to install the jack.

I'm looking into getting a wired connection for my Switch and i've got two questions for now.

1. I have an old Wii Lan Adapter that i never wound up using, am i right to assume, that it'll work with the Switch?
   
2. Since i need an additional Ethernet Cable to connect the Console, would this one work? Just trying to make sure i don't waste my money on a wrong cable.

Buy these

And buy 2 of these
