A 5 port managed switch won't be very expensive. E.g. https://www.amazon.ca/NETGEAR-Ethernet-Manageable-Affordable-Connectivity/dp...
I have some older Netgear "manageable" switches. Bad choice: The brains were in an app that lived in a Windows web browser and the settings became a binary blob uploaded to the switch. Note: this one might be better. What was bad: - there was a trivially defeated security mechanism on the blob uploading - the configuration software only ran on Windows. I assume that, for a little more money, you can get one with a little web server running on the switch that provides for configuration. I was going to search on Amazon.com (Carey is in the US) but it would only show me items that would ship to Canada. Better for Carey to search.
