Adding a port to 3801HGV Gateway?

This is probably a dumb question, but is there any way to add a port (there are currently 4) to my ATT gateway? I just got a verizon network extender and it, too, needs a place to be plugged in and I am out of ports. Do I need a new gateway?

Thank you ,

NO.
you can use a HUB or a SWITCH - - the latter is a better choice. neither use an IP address.
wiring is like

Code:

(uplink.wan.port)existing.router(one.lan.port)----(any.port)new.switch(3 more ports)

If you need to add WiFi, then use the same wiring as show, but get a WiFi router. Come back here and
we will help you config that choice.

OK thanks so much for your suggestion - I'm on it.
