Connecting switch to router
 

I have a Linksys 8 port router on my business wired network and it works just
fine. Now I need to add several more devices (2 printers and 3 more
computers) to the network and I need more ports. Rather than buy a 16 port
router I want to use an old D-Link model DSS-16+ unmanaged switch that I have
collecting dust. I have been reading about this switch and it says use the
'uplink' port to connect first to a router - but I don't see any 'uplink'
port - only 16 ports marked '1' through '16'. Will any port suffice as the
'uplink' port? Do I need a straight through or crossover cable? Also, will
the new computers I connect to this switch be able to access the internet? Or
only the computers connected to the router be able to? Once installed, will I
need to reconfigure my Linksys to 'reconginize' the switch or will everything
be automatic? Thanks for any replies.
