Need a 5 port router - what are my options?

[richardnva]

Hello. The standard router that you get with Fios only has 4 hard wired ports, I need 5... I called Verizon to see if they offer an upgraded/larger router with more than 4 ports and they don't. I wondering if I can use some type of ethernet hub or bridge and connect that to my router.  I use wireless as well, but I've hard wired several devices in my house for speed and continuity reasons and I need a fifth port.  Any ideas?

easy fix..
get a switch
they're very inexpensive
another option is if you have a third party router laying around you can piggy back it of the fios router

Verizon does have an 8 port router....not wireless capable....that is used for business customers. If you ask them for the 8 port that would be your only other option using our router/modem.
