You probably won't find a 16 port router, more likely you would go with a router then a switch or hub for all the extra ports you want. Here are some 16port switches http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...tby=14&order=1 or just browse around newegg......does anyone know of a cheaper place than newegg for networking stuff?

Yes, just get a Cable/DSL Router with DHCP capability then connect a hub or switch to one of the ports and set the gateway on all of the devices to the router (usually 192.168.0.1). Set all of the devices to DHCP for easiest configuration.
