I have the Linksys BEFSX41 Router with the integrated firewall and switch. Im just about to host a miniature lan party at my house (4 comps total) and I was wondering whether If I simply connected up the 4 computers to the ports, but without the WAN connected if this would simply act as a switch? If not my friend has a hub we can use but would a switch be that much better for networking 4 computers for online gaming?
Also, if I neded more than 4 ports would it be possible to connect two 4 port hubs/switchs (or even a hub and a switch) together to allow 7 ports?
