Question about using a wireless router wired and wireless?

I was wondering with a wireless router can i hook up my mac and ps4 wired from the wireless router while also using my iphones and ipad wireless from same said router?

Yes - that's the entire point.

Honestly, the router doesn't care how or what computer you connect into the thing. It just sends traffic where it is supposed to go. So wired, wireless, Linux, Windows, Android, Apple, Sun, etc. Etc. All just connect and work. Either wired or wireless it is the same network.

Yes, up 'til you reach the limit. My router will allow four devices to be connected at a time.

Yes of course, As Tracy L said, it doesn't care what is connected to it. As long as it can send/receive packets, it doesn't care.

Now of course, the more devices you have on your network (both wired and wireless) simultaneously, the slower your speeds get for everything/everyone.

So if you're streaming a 4K Netflix movie on one device and trying to download a 60 GB+ game on a computer, things will slow down quite a bit for everyone connected.

Typical home routers have 4 ports for wired connections and can additionally handle hundreds of wireless connections, although the more wireless devices, the slower the connection will become.
