I have a Sky Hub Router/Modem but it only has 2 ethernet ports. I have one of the ports going into my Desktop PC and the other going into a Mesh system.

I would like to hard wire my ethernet to my Xbox and another dock for work.

Is it possible to get a better Sky modem/router than the one I have or is it possible to replace this with a 3rd party modem?

The cost effective solution would be an unmanaged switch, giving you more ports. These can be picked up online or places like Curry's etc.

Something like these just make sure it's 'unmanaged' as the 'managed' ones may cause issues.

Skull+Treaty thanks, I hadn't even considered a switch. Great idea.
