Only one Ethernet port on the laptop is needed. As long as there are enough ports on the router, only one wire is needed from each unit.

You might also install a network monitor programme and look at the "real-time" trace. I'll find the download URL and post it.
The programme I was looking for is Win only, so no help there.
