I've a USB ADSL router with 1 ethernet port, and a switch connected to this port to share internet conection with my lan PCs (3 PCs -> 3 Ports). I wonder if I can install NIC and connect it to one port of the switch and make a multi-link conn. bet. it and usb port to double my share of the bandwidth over the lan? Please answer in details, Bye.

the answer is no. two links to the router from the switch adds no bandwidth. Only if you could trunk the two together would this be possible. At this level of hardware not only can the two devices not do trunking but the soho router doesn't support spanning tree protocol which is required to prevent connection loops.
