Multiple devices - one Ethernet port

My room is at the other side of the house so WiFi isn’t an option (even with a WiFi extender half way between the router and my room it’s quite inconsistent). I purchased a thing called a powerline that lets me have a single Ethernet port plugged into the wall. I have my pc and my PS4 that I want to use with the Ethernet port. Is there a way to extend the amount of ports coming out of this single Ethernet port.

 

thanks :)

Yes, what you're looking for is called a switch.

Look for a gigabit switch on Amazon or the likes, 5 or 8 ports depending on your needs should run you like $20 tops.
