I have a router feeding a 10 port switch. This resolved the issue for me
to add a number of computers on to the router.

As I mentioned in this thread, I have one of my Linksys router's 4
ports connected to a 5-port (cheap) switch, giving me 9 usable
connections as far as I can tell. I have a second and third computer
and a printer connected to the switch. All computers access the
internet with no problem, and the printer is accessible from any
computer even if the other computers are turned off.
Don't know if if it work that way if it were a hub instead of a
switch.

Hello, I have an issue that I need help resolving for a home LAN I am
planning.
My current router has only four wired ports, and they are all used. I
have the need for more ports, and was looking on Newegg at both
switches and hubs. Basically, I would like to know if I can piggyback
them together from one of the outputs (searching the net seems to
indicate that I can) to the input of the switch (or hub?). Also, the
Netgear switches I was looking at with eight ports have only the eight
ports labeled 1-8 but there is no "input" port as in an ordinary
router, so how would I go about wiring things up? The router I have
also handles the FiOS line, so I want to continue to use it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You have Netgear - but same concept as this:

You could buy a Wireless router and some Wireless N Adaptors for your PCs,
and build network that has wired and wireless connections.
