Hi, Newbie here. I'm currently upgrading from 500Mb service to 900Mb service and being sent a new Eero router. However the Eero only comes with two ports. One to connect the incoming line and one outlet I believe, and I need more ports than that as i have VoIP phones and my own main computer is hardwired although it could go onto wireless in need be, also have a powerline adaptor running internet to a cabin and a garage at the bottom of my garden, Can I use my current Sagecom router as a switch or do I have to purchase a switch separately ??
Any assistance please before my upgrade arrives in a day or two.
Thanks in advance

When using an Eero as the primary router, the staff on this community forum always recommend that you buy an additional 1 Gbit switch to extend the single spare port of the Eero.
