Hi folks,

I currently have Broadband and I'm using a 4 port Netopia 3347 which was supplied by my provider (I'm in Ireland). I currently have my PC, Powerline adaptor and Printer connected which leaves one free port. I'd like to connect a number of other devices as well.

Is it as simple as running a standard CAT 5 or 6 cable to a Switch (like this) and connecting my other devices to the Switch?

Do I need any special cables between the 3347 and the Switch?

Thanks for any and all advice!
 
Yep as simple as that but no point getting gigabit unless you have devices that will use it.
