I have a Verizon MI 424WR Router with my Airport Extreme base station in bridge mode connected to it. I am short two Lan ports on the Airport Base Station. Can I connect a Ethernet switch to one of the Lan Ports on the Airport and plug the remaing two computer into the switch and still have Internet?

Yes. That should be no problem. Providing you do not plug the switch into the Actiontec that is running in bridge mode, and only plug it into the Airport.
OK so if your Airport is running in bridge mode, it must have DHCP disabled, and all the adresses are comming from the Actiontec. So yes you could plug it into any spare lan port on the Actiontec or Airport. Providing the Actiontec is the primary router hooked to the ONT.
