Update: I bought a Netgear 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch - Model GS205 for $19.57.

Thank you again to StephenB and JennyC for their timely advice !!
Thank you both stephenB and JennC. Both of your answers reaffirmed each other. I have an ATT 2wire router/modem. This is a uVerse black fiber connection.
