    Default Modem Router and extra ports

    Hi,
    I have a Netcomm modem router with four LAN ports. I need a couple of extra ports. Can I connect a router to this setup, say through one of the LAN connections?

    Cheers

    whack a simple 8-port switch on the back of on of the ports and plug ur computers into all the spare ones

    Im doing this with a 24 port switch, i have a 4 port wireless router which is running a dhcp server which is then connected to a 24 port switch.
    All my computers,laptops,voip phones, game consoles printers, scanners, LAN enclosures get pluged into that

    it'll work fine for a simple setup
