[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1015068, member: 369937"] No need to run 4 individual CAT 6 cables, just run one CAT 6 and use a 4 port (or larger) LAN switch at the end point, this will work fine. I have one setup that gives me 200 connections (commercial building) from a single modem running into a 4 port router feeding several other routers (different departments) and switches, as long as your not going over 255 connections on the first router your set to go. It would look something like this, 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.255 as far as the first ports go to any switch or PC/MAC, connecting other routers you can go 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.255 on the second router then each additional router you just change the third set of number to the next step up, you will also have to change the "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.254.0 to add a separate router/system, this would give you an additional 256 IP addresses for a total of 1024. Changing the subnet mask to 240.0.0.0 would give you 240 million + IP address to work with [/QUOTE]
