You just need a small switch. You have explained it correctly. connect the switch to one of the four ports on your router and you can connect more computers.





You don't have to buy a Linksys. You can buy whatever brand you want. They are all the same essentially.
Reply:IT might work as long as you don't plug anything into the Internet / WAN port...you'll have to uplink one of the grouped 4 ports...


And you need to make sure there is no IP or DHCP configured on the second Linksys router, or you'll have conflicts out the kazoo.





A cheap hub at Wal-mart would be a much better choice.
