Hi all,
I would like to route informations from a LAN to 4 other LANs. Can you suggest me what is the best solution to do this. All routers I ve found are connecting LAN to WAN.
Thank you

Use a network switch instead of a router.

Thank you for reply, just need specifications of this switch or reference in 3com or cisco brands

any L3 switch should be able to route traffic between networks.
some L2 switches can do that as well

Yes, if you are connecting multiple LANs to make one large LAN, a switch will do the job. If the LANs are all seperate entities (i.e. different subnets) and you are looking to route data between the LANs, you can use any router. A router is used to connect multiple networks. 2 LANs can be connected via a router. One LAN goes in the LAN port of the router, the other LAN goes into the WAN port of the router.
