Network switch used to add additional Ethernet ports to a home network.
The unmanaged switch I used was a TP-Link TL-SG105S, which I purchased from Amazon.co.uk here: amzn.to/3Wtr0J5 A Netgear unmanaged switch with the same specification is available on Amazon.com here: amzn.to/3HtJLrg Note that these are affiliate links, and that as an Amazon Associate I earn a commission from any qualifying purchases you may make.
