Why do I need a physical router?
You need a physical router because:
*The simulators don't have the ability to give you the hands on.
*You need to see what happens when you disconnect a cable.
*You may put a cable in the wrong location or just plain configure the interface incorrectly.
*Dependent on what you do by mistake, you may see either the interface or protocol go down.
*You can do troubleshoot based upon that it should give you a clue of where to start troubleshooting.
*You can see what layer is the interface at and what layer is the protocol at.
* You can find quite quickly which mistakes you make on Router 1 which can affects other Routers.
*No simulator can simulate that, so real routers and switches are invaluable.

How Many Routers Do I Need for my Cisco CCNA Lab?
Let`s explain to you what you can do with one, two or three routers.
One router will give you the ability to run the commands on it and will allow you to memorize the correct syntax and context in which to run the commands.
Two routers will allow you to be able to see route table information propagate, data propagation and path election. In addition, you will see basic device elections.
Three or more routers and you will get all the above, more complex topologies and full device elections.
We strongly suggest you buy three router kits.
How Many Switches Do I Need for my Cisco CCNA Lab?
Let`s explain to you what you can do with one, two or three switches.
One switch will give you the ability to run the commands on the switch and allow you to memorize the correct syntax and context in which to run the commands. It will also allow you to do some of the VLAN labs.
Two switches will allow you to see VTP Domain & VLAN information propagate. In addition, you will see basic device elections.
Three or more switches you will get all the above and full device elections.
We suggest to you buy our three switch lab kits because of having the best learning experience.
