I admit the 16 port idea made me giggle. I only have two hands and two ears, to use with any device at a time. even if I want to simply keep things connected, no matter if turned off, 8 ports should hold me for quite awhile. Kare On Thu, 8 Aug 2024, Scott Allen via talk wrote:

A 16 port switch would likely be a good start and they're running from in the low $70 to into a couple hundred $$$ depending upon branding.
The O.P., Karen, was asking for an ethernet "splitter" which likely meant she only needed 1 extra port. Even a <$30 8 port switch would be overkill. Are you really recommending a $70 or more 16 port switch for this situation? Another <$30 8 port switch would give 6 more ports if needed down the road.
