I am still slightly confused. If we connect 3 computers direct to a four port router, with a 8 port switch connected to the routers fourth socket, can we have 5 pcs on the shared internet at once. - 3 directly connected to the router, and 2 connected to the switch.

Or, can only 1/2 pcs connected the switch access the net at once? hence only 4/5 pcs can be on the net at one time?

Sorry if im being stupid.
