| 1409114 | 2015-09-28 23:45:00 | Hey i have a question which i want to know . When we have many devices connected to the Modem/Router say in a home , does all the devices access the internet by one port or is there separate ports which the Modem/Router has in it to support the devices ? I'm not sure if this is the right way to ask , correct me if im wrong . Thanks |

Usually in an all-in-one type device there will only be one interface between the switch/router and the modem if we're talking something like a DSL modem with 4 ethernet ports. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1409117 | 2015-09-29 05:07:00 | Hey no i think i said in wrong way , so what im trying to say is lets say there is a one Modem/Router and there is 4 devices connected to it and are using the internet . So how will the modem/router act to support all those devices , will it go by one lane or more than one lane is seen since there are many devices connected . Im sorry i took the wrong example of ports , its not that . |

It's how your router knows that even though you're going to pressf1.co.nz, and a family member is going to trademe.co.nz, it knows to give you PressF1 and your family member TradeMe, even though you're both behind the router. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
