Can you connect two desktop computers and one notebook computer to one router?

Yes, and you can connect many more devices. The router should have at least 4 ethernet ports to connect to. And/or you can connect wireless also. If you have more then 4 wired devices then you can use a 4, 8, or 16 port ethernet Switch to connect to the Router. Myself I have 3 desktops (wired), 3 wireless and 1 wired laptops, an X-Box 360 (wired), a Wii (wireless), a BlueRay player (wireless) and a Brother laser printer (wireless) connected to the router. (1 desktop, 1 laptop and the X-Box are hooked to the Router and the rest of the wired devices are connected to an 8 port ethernet Switch which is connected to the Router.)

Can Ethernet switch be used in lieu of router?

An Ethernet switch can not fulfill the role of a router, unless it be a "layer 3 switch" also known as "multilayer switch", which has capabilities of both a switch and a router - and is more expensive than either (mainly because it is optimized for handling lots of traffic, quickly).For a small network, you don't really need a router. Routers are used to divide larger networks into smaller subnets, for efficiency, security, and administration. Routers are also used to connect different branches of a company to headquarters, or to each other, via WAN technologies - the router's role, in this case, is to connect the Ethernet network of a company's branch, to a WAN technology.

How do you shutdown a Cisco switch port?

What do switches do in the home network?

You can use a switch to connect different pieces of equipment. For example, a standard ADSL router only has a port for a single Ethernet cable. If you want to connect 2 or more computers to the Internet, you can use a switch. In this case, the ADSL router and each computer connect to the switch, via a standard Ethernet cable.If you don't have an Internet connection, you can still set up a home network to share files, etc. To connect only 2 computers, you can connect them directly via a crossover cable. To connect more than 2 computers, better use a switch.You can use a switch to connect different pieces of equipment. For example, a standard ADSL router only has a port for a single Ethernet cable.

Why switch is data link layer?

Data link layer refers to things that happen within a single network; that's what a switch does. Only a router (or equivalent device, which I would still consider a "router") is able to connect different networks.The different networks may use the same technology (for example, Ethernet and Ethernet), or different technologies (for example, Ethernet and Wi-Fi); a switch is only able to connect parts of a single network that use the same technology (often this will be Ethernet).
