Two at minimum, one for WAN and one for LAN. Other than that, however many you really want or need.

- waynesonfire 6y agowhat does each additional port enable? I guess you can combine them? fail-over?
- UI_at_80x24 6y agoSeveral options, but the easiest is LAN separation. e.g. port1 = internet port2 = LAN port3 = wifi (private) port4 = wifi (guest/public) or port1 = internet port2 = DMZ/'public facing servers' port3 = LAN port4 = Wifi or port 1 = internet port 2 = LAN (PC's only) port 3 = entertainment & gaming (Roku, Xbox, Netflix, SmartTV, etc..) port 4 = Wifi The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. The more paranoid you are the more you want to segregate your services and LAN segments.
