Ok, so here's the deal. I need a LAN port, and my family needs a LAN port from our router. The issue is that there's only one available port in our router (or so I think). It's labelled "PC", while the other ports are labelled "TV". After some searching around I found that these most likely are IPTV ports, but why the hell would I need 3 of these in one place!? Is there a way for me to change the use for these ports? Has anyone else ever encountered this issue? The router is a Tilgin HG2301. Thanks in advance.

just connect to whatever port is empty and look if you get a connection, probably those are common lan ports, but labeled for whatever reason your isp ask that oem to

Go for a switch. Tampering with the ISP router could make things worse if you don't know what you're doing. Also you might need those IPTV ports in the future.
