My router has 4 LAN ports. How do I add an additional port

My WNDR4300 has 4 LAN ports.  I need an additional port.  Is there a way to connect more than 1 item to a LAN port with a device like a multiport attachment?

    Yes, Purchase a unmanaged switch. Netgear sells a five port unmanaged switch, which is relatively inexpensive. (goolge 5 port unmanaged switch). Plug one switch port to a LAN port on your WNDR4300. Then plug your device into one of the switch ports.
