Basically a single port ethernet router will allow you to connect 1 device, e.g. a hub, PC, whatever you have that has an ethernet socket, a multiport will allow you to connect for example more than one PC, I used to use a single port and connected a 16 port hub to that, allowing me to connect up 16 further devices.

edit: if you have a wireless bridge (presume this is the same as a WAP) then get a single port router, connect the wap to the single ethernet port and bobs your aunties live in lover.
