Networking Devices 10/100 and Gigabit Network Switch Hubs

Typical routers have only 4 ports for wired connections. If you have more than 4 computers and devices that require wired connections on the same network, you will need additional ports. Network switches and hubs provide such "port" expansion. There are many generations of switches and hubs, from 10mb date transfer rate dating back many years ago to the newest gigabit data transfer rate. The high speed switch makes broadband internet connections of multiple computers in the same network possible.
