To answer your questions. When I said, switches I meant switches. The standard 8 port ones from Dlink/SMC which come for 1050-1800 Rs.

These "switches" are not managed switches which is what the pro means when he says switches. They are souped up hubs.

Router is a 802.11b Wireless ADSL Router with 3 port switch built in.

again is the "switch" here a hub?. If it is a switch u would have three additional ip addresses - one for each i/o. If u really want some fancy control connect your hub/switch and router to four ethernet cards in a debian box and use the box to do all sorts of fancy filtering and bw managment. U could wire up ro reboot the 802.11 router to reboot automagically.
