There are typically 5 to 24 ports on a network switch, though real high end switches can house more.
Internally the ports are connected with copper wires.
It depends on the switch, all switches are different. Some may have 16 while others may have 24.
A router will typically support between 4 and 8 ports. For additional ports, a standard Ethernet switch can be connected to one of the ports.
the Highest I heard is 576 port
In LAN we can add as many system depending upon the number of ports in switch and how many switches you are using.
there can be many devices connected between a router and a switch the most popular items are firewall , ips , ids there are other devices such as network management tools
It depends on how many interfaces of router are connected to other networks. If a router is connected to two network, it will have 2 IP addresses. In a router having 4 ports it can connect to maximum 4 networks. In this case it will have 4 IP addresses.

its a combination of the star network connected in many at a time...
Yes, most computer networks consist of many computers that are usually connected by a networking device such as a hub, switch or access point. This type of a network is called a LAN.
Switch is faster than HUB. If you are using managed switch you can create VLAN, you can secure ports and many other things.
Your statement is True. Most computers are connected by a network device such as a hub switch and access point. Access Point is the most popular way now due to the easy configuration settings.
Windows xp will support 127 usb ports
Most Cisco phones act as a two-port switch, with one port facing the network and the other port for attaching a desktop device like a PC.
