I have a Virgin media Superhub, which has 4 ports which really isn't enough for my network. I really could do with 7 or 8.

I'm told I can just add a switch to get more ports, but I'm clueless about networks so dont really understand it.

Firstly, can I add a 4 port switch and have stuff plugged into both the router and the switch? Or do I need to get an 8 port and only have stuff plugged into the switch?

Secondly, is there anything I need to do to the router settings to get it working with the switch?

Thanks.
