I am planning to add a wired router, not splitter or switchbox, but actual wired router to an existing free output from current wireless router. Already using the other 3 wired outputs. Long story but all incoming internet access (modem) is at end of long ranch home with foiled insulation & wireless doesn’t cover other end of house. Using newer Nighthawk AX6 AX5400 WiFi Router. In process of wiring (Cat 6) from this end of house to 2-3 TV’s to eliminate cable boxes & use apps to watch tv. I’m interested in a decent wired router brand & model; need 3-4 lines run from it.

Thanks

Hello morset,

Is there any reason you want to add a second router? if you do this you will create a double NAT, which can cause issues with some devices.

If this is in fact what you want to do then you should use the same if not a similar nighthawk. Otherwise Using an unmanaged gigabit network switch is what you want.
