Yep, at work I have a 24 port unmanaged switch,
but still use some ports on the router for dual Wan
(as single Wan could be very unreliable here) and
the other ports as a fallback should the switch
go belly up (lightning and spikes in Voltage happen also often)
at home I need to reduce the number of boxes (have a lot...,
like to tinker) so router and switch all in one is a good thing
and leaves more place for my wife's books in the shelves ;-)
