I'm currently using a 4 port WIRED router, all ports are being used at the moment,
I just recently bought a wireless router,
my question is if i fill the 4 ports that are giving on my wireless router like how i did to my WIRED router, will i have any free ports for my Wireless labtop?
Greetings btkx15,
The wireless labtop won't be using any of the LAN ports. It will receive connectivity between the network adapter and the antenna on the router. If your going to add a second router to an existing network, disable the DHCP server in that router. Some routers have an uplink port to expand. If your router does, keep in mind that some routers disable port 1 when the uplink port is in use. Read the documentation for the router you have.
the 4 ports have nothing to do with wireless connectivity. YES if you use all four, you can still connect wireless. in theory, up to 250 wireless devices, although these cheap routers could never handle that
