Wireless with 5 ethernet ports?

[rchapoteau]

Almost all Wireless switches seem to have 4 ports. Do any out there have 5 or more? 8 or 16 would be great

Some of them have one or two ports, but I have not seen anyone with more than four. So you could just add a switch with as much ports as you need.

Flashing some wireless routers with 3rd party firmware can allow this.
Example...the popular old wrt54g models....if you flash them with DD-WRT firmware, the firmware supports a reconfiguration to Access Point mode...in addition to this, you can utilize the WAN/Internet port as a 5th LAN port.

This is interesting, but I don't believe this will do what I want. Thanx for the info though.

I currently have a 4 port switch, and a 4 port wireless router. I was hoping to eliminate the switch for space/power reasons and combine it all down to 1 wireless router with more ports.
