A lot of them do, anyway. The one linked by the OP has 4 ports. The D-Link I got at Bestbuy a couple weeks ago does, too.

Also agree with the Belkin. Got it last Black Friday from CC for $6.99 after rebates. Got my CC rebate, but still waiting on the rebate from Belkin. It works great wirelessly with my PSP and great wired with my PS2, Xbox, and PC.

So if in the routers description it says wired 4 port switch I can use 3 for my PC, PS2, and Xbox. Will I be able to be on-line with the PC and one of the consoles at the same time. And is it a real pain in the butt to have to downgrade the router to wireless B format everytime I want to play my PSP meaning do I need to reset the router everytime or is it as simple as flicking a switch from wireless B to wireless G.

It's very simple. You don't even need to manually switch between B and G, I think the PSP or router automatically does that for you :D. I haven't messed with any of the settings, and I use my PC, Xbox, and PSP all online perfectly at the same time. :D

Picked up the Belkin at CC last night hooked it up today no problem getting on-line with the PSP. Played a few games of NHL and it was great, I let the PSP do everything automatically and it found the wireless connection very quickly. Now I just need to tackle the web browser and I will be set.

I live next to a Starbucks, so i get 76% most times. It owns. I suggest you get a router from Best Buy and hire the Geek Squad to come out to your house and install it. They do a good job, atleast i do. I dont know about my other fellow Best Buy employees.
