Most wireless routers only have 4 ethernet ports, but they can make 256 wireless connections.

But I don't know what you mean by "X number of options." I am just guessing since you used the number 4 that you are talking about the ethernet ports.

Yes, my wireless is a Lynksys and it can be either or, I have both by desktop and main laptop connected to my DSL through it, but when I am in the kitchen I can browse on my notebook in wireless mode.....
