I’m a newbie. Sincerely appreciate if you’re willing to give advice!
I wonder why computers cannot be connected directly to a router but via a Switch. Does it simply because router have merely one port or something? And please do not get too deep because I might not be able to understand too complex concepts as a beginner. Appreciate.
