Connecting.

Hi, I was looking for advice on connecting the Sky Q and TV via Sky router. 

I have one ethernet connected to my Ps5 and the other to the Sky Q box. I wanted to also connect my new TV to the internet via ethernet from Sky router but as there are only 2 ports how can I connect the TV to the Sky Router and is it necessary? Sorry if I've not explained well but I just want to connect everything to ethernet rather than WiFi. Thanks.

Hi @Fidel+59 

All you need is a simple unmanaged Ethernet switch and any device that is already on Ethernet.  These have five Ethernet ports.  You could have this at your TV and connect the Ethernet from your router and also Ethernet to your TV set and also your Q box

Re: Connecting.

Thanks. Seems poor that the Sky router has only 2 ports.
