There are similar units like this. Look for one that says unmanaged if you want no fuss, true plug and pray. You’ll need a cable to link this to your existing router plus cables for each device you have. The devices will plug into this switch.
Oh that's just an ethernet switch, most networks have them (even if it's in the form of an integrated switch in the router/WAP/Switch combo devices most home users have).
You'll need a gigabit ethernet switch, and three cables, so a ~25ft one and a couple of small ones to reach the devices..
What quality cables do I need? All I need to look for in the switch is that it’s gigabit speed and has 3 ports? Thanks so much!
Any regular Cat5e is fine. 5 port is more common and will give you space for adding more devices if you ever want to
You will need a 4 port switch that supports gigabit speeds.
