Thanks I’ll look at getting an Ethernet switch.
It’s an eero 6 router.

I see a raft of things that could be "eero 6", a brand (eero) and wifi spec (6) rather than a model. But I see what you mean.
This seems to be a wifi-centric way of doing things. Too many LAN ports might baffle some of users.
If you buy a switch, go for something wirh at least twice as many ports as you think you need. It will cost not much more and you will soon find that you need the extra ports. I am currently on 16, with not many unused slots.
