False@lemmy.world 8 hours agoTechnically you only need one (or even 0 with WiFi) ports. Look up “router on a stick”

Yes, but I was thinking more of a real router, one with many Ethernet plugs. Afterall an Android phone already is a router if you enable wifi hot spot…

Generally a consumer router only needs 2 interfaces - local and external.
Most consuner devices are a combination router, switch, and access point - the switch requires the multiple ports.
