Wireless router with more than 4 LAN port?

Hi,
Is there such a thing?

I don't know, but you could cascade a hub with the ports you need..

You can uplink from the router to a switch of any size you like

most consumer boxes seem to stop at 4 - probably because they all use the
same few chipsets and / or the common box sizes dont have enough space for
more connectors.

cisco 18xx - 8p switch

work uses the 1801s as small site routers on MPLS where there is an ADSL WAN
link
- nice box, ISDN BRI built in for backup, and around $1000 list without
wireless or various optional software.

the 28xx and 38xxs can take various switch modules, up to 36p

still only 10/100, with an optional GigE "uplink"

of course you didnt mention "cheap, home router"......

Just buy an 8-port or larger switch and connect it to the router.
Cheaper too.

I wouldn't worry about a wireless router with more than 4 lan ports.

use the lan ports for local use (short runs) to the local computers,

then

on one port put a good quality switch (8 - 16 ports) and connect the
rest of the cat5 runs to it.

use a switch instead of a HUB because the switch is a 'smart hub' and
remembers routes, etc.

this works great, forget the hub and use a switch.
