    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.
