router is intelligent. switch is dumb. one thing, router can be used as firewall, dhcp -- the one who assigns ip addresses and etc

Bro,

You cannot ask for an advantage/disadvantage of router and a switch because they have different purpose. A switch is a layer2 device that can connect one network segment only. While a router is a layer3 device that can connect different network segment provided you have an interface for each segment. A router usually have fewer interface than a switch. If you were asking for DSL router w/ four ports (linksys or Dlink). It is actually a router and a switch in one.

There is an advantage/disadvantage between switch and a hub though.
