A:Answer There are two total Ethernet ports, but one of those is needed for the modem. So in reality you only have one Ethernet port for wiring devices. For me I needed to buy an Ethernet switch to add a few more ports, so I could wire my tv and smart light hub at the same time. Yes it's an extra cost of $30, but routers with more Ethernet ports are far more expensive, larger and unsightly. It's rare to get a good looking router that doesn't look large with many Ethernet ports. You have to make a choice.
