Hi, can i use 2 cisco 871 + Ethernet External USB to Lan RJ45 Network Card Adapter as the second computer to do my ccna labs? ( it's like i have 2 switches and 2 routers right ? )

Hi,

If I understand your question, you have 2 871 routers and you want to use USB to RJ45 adapters to connect two PCs to your routers Ethernet ports?  If that is the case, it should work fine.

no that's not my question!!! i asked if instead of buying two separate switches for example 2 (2950) and two routers for example 2 (2600), i can use just two Cisco 871 routers. Cisco 871 router has the built in switch so it's great for vlans and ACL and etc, but as far as routing labs i am not sure. also i asked if instead of having the second pc to do some labs like vlan or acl or routing i can use the usb to rj45 adapter, that adapter is the device that has a Integrated Fast Ethernet MAC,Physical Chip and transceiver in one chip so you can set up the ip address for that.
