Need my first switch!

Hey everyone!

Need a switch for home network and not sure what to use.

We have a gigabit connection and handful of Cat5e/6 cables I want to all talk to each other and the router isn't smart enough, nor does it have enough ports to deal with it all.

Recommendations on a good and cost effective switch easily available? Simple to setup and reliable and fast enough for anything to share the bandwidth and also LAN.

Thanks ❤️

Basically any unmanaged newtork switch will work fine. here is a cheap one https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Splitter-Optimization-Unmanaged-TL-SG108/dp/B00A121WN6/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=network+switch&qid=1589505096&sr=8-4

 

Just plug into your router, and then plug more devices in.
