Getting new router

[adamshaffer69]

So i have been looking into getting a new router as my current router does not have enough ports and i do not know much about that kind of stuff so i was wondering if you guys could help me out im just looking for a router with 10 ports and wifi and i dont care about the speed as long as its good up to at least a gigabit and less than 100$ thanks!

Why not just get a switch? Not many routers have 10 ports.

If you just need more ports, get a switch, not a new router. You can buy them for much less than a 10 port router (you're not getting a 10 port router for less than $100). 

 

Here, 16 port gigabit switch for $60 https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-16-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Desktop/dp/B01AX8XHRQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1501283917&sr=8-3&keywords=16port+switch+gigabit

Well, the switch I linked to is unmanaged, so all you need to do is connect it to your current router (any of the ports is fine) and then connect other devices to the switch and you're good to go, there's no configuration needed on your end other than plugging it in.
