How To Increase The Number Of Ports On A Router

If you've ever done business with an ISP that gives you one of their routers to use for service, you may have noticed that their equipment is rarely as full featured as it needs to be. Sometimes, there are only four ethernet ports and for many geeks out there, that can be a few ports too few. Sure that works for the average home where you have one or two computers and a set-top box, but a more tech-friendly household will fill those ports in no time. Where Wi-Fi might seem a logical solution, ISP-provided routers are typically behind the times, leaving you with slower a/b/g wireless options where wireless N would get the job done. Here is a solution that may help you increase the number of ports on your router.
