Ethernet expansion slots on my netgear11?
I bought a netgear C6250 in Dec 2017 and love it. Problem is it has 2 slots in the back for ethernet cords. I use one for the internet and one for my VOIP home phone with OOMA.
I need to expand the ethernet slots so I can keep my printer plugged in for updates. (Printer is not wireless and wireless adapter is discontinued). Is this possible and if so where do I buy the port expansion for the router.
Thanks.

All you would need is a switch cheap and simple fix for more ports.

I am not great with tech stuff, one other question. If I got either the 5 or the 8 slot does everything I need come in the box or do I need other connector cords/cables?
Thanks again, you're a lifesaver.
It should have a power cord/supply.
the ethernet cords, you'd need to supply.
