Airport Express: How to add ports

[blackberrypilot]

I purchased an Airport Express the other night because I've been having so many issues with my last router, Linksys.

The problem with the Airport is the lack of ports, just three.

I'm a newbie, but I've heard I could add a small switch to add more ports. I really only need one extra port for a total of four.

What is a good switch to use for my purpose and how do I wire it to my existing Airport and cable modem?

Thanks

Just buy any 4 port network switch with Gigabit Ethernet ports. Connect it via a short Cat5+ or Cat6 cable to the AEBS and there you go.

That sounds easy. Would I need an additional firewall?

No.
