Really depends on your router and what you want to spend. From what I see from your post, you don't want anything expensive. If your router supports 10/100/1000Mbps, then look at the TP-Link TL-SG1008D 8-Port Gigabit switch or the TrendNet TEG-S80G 8-Port Gigabit switch (both under $30). If your router only supports 10/100Mbps, look at the TrendNet TE100-S8 8-port or the Rosewill RC-406X 8-port (both under $15).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this product will add more ethernet ports for you. That is exactly how I used it. It will add 4 more. Simple plug in and done.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The quicky way to go is to daisy chain two or more of these boxes, but that can get messy and sloppy and may cut into the ethernet speed to devices further down the line. However, with a little looking you can find switch boxes like this that have 8 or 12 ports (and more). Have Fun!
