A "standard" network switch or hub won't work? You have to isolate the connection to just one game/port?

Quoted from jurulz:Exactly, since a network switch is to route the traffic, we need something that can isolate the traffic so the QR reader doesn't send the login data to different's games.
Got it. Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate the write up as well. I ordered the parts and will be using it for four machines.
Quoted from jurulz:I really don’t miss crimping Ethernet cables LOL
Me either! Getting the wires lined up properly was a PITA!

Quoted from ilovegames:Does anyone have a current list of places to get the stuff to do this? I am looking for a 4 port switch. Thank you!
It's a lot easier to use home team, as long as you have at least one IC unit. I bought my switch from Amazon, but it is now OOS. I found this one that is in stock from a different site - https://www.sanoxy.com/4-port-rj45-manual-network-sharing-switch.html
Quoted from ilovegames:Is this the same thing?

Also do you just use regular network cables?
Thank you for the help in advance!
Yes, it looks like that will work. Yes, you can use standard Cat 5 network cables.
