Which situation you use router and switch?
For many businesses, they may have hundreds of computers that need to connect to the internet. In order to do this, they need each computer connected to a switch. The switch will forward frames within the Local Area Network (LAN) and anything that needs to be sent out to the Internet will be sent to the router. The main purpose of the switch is to connect many computers or nodes to one device which in turn connects to a router.

Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem.

Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.

The router is the brains of the network, it hands out the IP address's to all the devices and controls where the different information needs to go. All the switch does is route the calls to the right devices. If you talking about an Ethernet Switch then all it is is a smart hub. It's like a switch board operator on your phone, if computer 1 want's to talk to computer 3 then it routes the call through just to #3 and no one else. It does this automatically. Most routers already have a 4 port ethernet switch built in, if you need more ports then you can buy a 4, 8,16, etc, port stand alone one of your choice.
