More wired connections required

[Dan_in_distress]

HI,

I just connected to PureFibre, and my new telus WiFi Hub is maxxed out for Cat 6 connections.  What is the best way to connect more hard-wired connections throughout my house?  We already use one port to a router to increase reach for wireless devices.  I have three or four more rooms to connect wires from.

I am guessing a router, but I also see references online to an ethernet switch? Are there better options?

Thanks!

Unmanaged switches are cheap and available everywhere in an assortment of port capacities. When you ask for a "better" option what you mean by that?

As mentioned a switch is probably all you need.

I was short of hardwired ethernet ports on my T3200M modem when they installed it. The tech gave me a 5 port ZyXEL switch. That was enough. There are larger switches that you can buy. See these for examples:
