As you know since a gateway can often be configured as either a router or a switch, its often a simple approach (especially as many may have a leftover older unit).
i agree if you just hook two routers together thats true, but then your network would be all funky and lets be serious, who would actually run it that way? If it worked.
The OP mentioned router so we can only go with what they may be thinking. They may be simply using the wrong terminology.
I realize the average consumer does not know the difference between router and switch.
either way my comment about network architecture is valid and nobody can dispute AC has a lot of 60hz noise in the line (it is the nature of AC)
