You can buy single port routers, such as the BEFSR41 years ago.
It had one WAN port and one LAN port.
You're thinking of the BEFSR11 ;-)
The BEFSR41 had a WAN port and 4 LAN ports. (The clue is in the model
number, 11 versus 41.)
I used to own examples of both.
When I had the BEFSR11, I connected an Ethernet switch to the LAN port
so that I could connect all of the PCs. Actually, though the BEFSR11 and
41 are long gone, to this day I always connect an Ethernet switch to a
LAN port and all of the PCs connect to the switch. That way the LAN
stays up when the router has to be rebooted.
