Switch 16 Port
Once you run out of LAN ports on your router, a gigabit switch is the easy expansion move. I show how the switch becomes the central hub: move your devices to the switch, then uplink back to the router. From there, you can scale into multiple switches around the building instead of trying to run massive cable lengths everywhere.
