[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1238908, member: 11094"] The router can support several ports. But for the $50 you spend at the Computer Store of your choice you usually get four. Usually routers will have one port (or interface) and have the capabilities to add more interfaces. To expand the routers connectivity capabilities you need a switch. Switches come in different sizes from 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 and more. They also come in different speeds, like 10/100 and 10/100/1000. When a router is in bridged mode it is no longer a router. It simply sends all traffic through it in effect performing no routing function. [/QUOTE]
