The TL-WA901ND is just an access point, not a switch. One advantage to
that is you can place it where it will provide best coverage, not
necessarily where your computer network gear is located. In my case, I
decided to place it high on the wall in the laundry room, which is close
to the middle of my condo, whereas with the access point near my
computer, I had a poor signal at the far end. I have a separate 16 port
switch, near my computers, that everything plugs into.
