Default Wireless Router

Hi

If I have a 4 lan port wireless router with DHCP, can I connect one of these ports to a switch thereby extending the number of hardwired pc's assigned an IP by the router?

TIA

Not purchased the wireless router yet, will be a Belkin model though.

Any recommendations?

To be honest i would avoid belkin, I would say youd be far better off a Netgear, Linksys, Speedtouch Billion etc

take a look here

for BT adsl you need an ADSL router

for NTL cable get a broadband router
