I've been reading that there is no uplink port on this router.
I was thinking about buying this router for use at home during the summer on my cable modem, but then I wanted to take it to college with me and use it in my apartment. My apartment has a weird setup with only one T1 jack in each room, but they offer as many IP addresses as you would like. My roomate and I will both need internet for our computers and I want to make sure that I can also use this router as basically a switch during college. Will I be able to hook up my router to the one jack in the wall and then hook up the two computers to the router (which will both have their own IP addresses, so basically the routing function will be turned off) and just use it as a switch to connect us to the lan. I'm worried that I won't be able to do this because there is no uplink port.
