What exactly do you mean by this?
There are two ways to connect to a router: wired and wireless

Wired allows you to connect any device directly to your router using the CAT5 (ethernet cable) ports like a desktop computer, laptop, printer, gaming device, etc....

Wireless is just that, you can connect any device that is wifi enabled to your router using NO cables...

For instance, if you have a old computer (desktop type or laptop) that still works that is near your new router, you can plug it directly into the router with a cable to give it the Internet...

So, 4 wired connections, unlimited wireless....

Party @ Melodys!!!
