I'm sure what I need is a very simple device, but I'm a little confused about the terminology and I don't want to buy the wrong thing.
I have Comcast (75/10) going to a Cisco DPC3008 DOCSIS 3 modem and then to an Apple Airport Express router (newest version available.) The Airport Express only has single ethernet connections, 1 LAN and 1 WAN (I think that's the right verbiage.) the specs are here: http://www.apple.com/airport-express/specs
Currently, I have my Apple TV hooked up to the ethernet connection, but I'd also like to connect our Xbox and Wii.
I've looked at some basic 'splitters' on Amazon and don't think they are the right thing. I believe what I need is a switch (?) but I want to make sure.
Looks like these types of devices are cheap, so I'm not looking to spend a ton of money if I don't have to... just whatever is the easiest way to get a couple more ethernet connections to the Apple router.
Thanks for suggestions!
