Hi there, just got the new hub but noticed only 2 LAN connections. I have 3 LAN connections (TV, PS4 & unfortunately EE mobile needs a booster for where I live!)
Any suggestions please (apart from changing my mobile network)
Cheers
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Anonymous User
NowTV / Sky was a bit mean when it comes to Ethernet ports on their Hub 2 Router where 4 ports would have been more reasonable if you ask me.
Look at something like a "unmanaged" 4 port Gigabit Ethernet port Hub from places like Amazon, EBay etc for around £10 to £15.
I use a Trendnet 8 port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch on my NowTV Hub Router which is a plug & play device and simple to set up.
If you have an old router with 4 Ethernet ports then you could set that up in conjunction with the NowTV Hub Router has an Ethernet hub switch, but i believe there is more involved setting it up (thou i have never tried my old router has a Ethernet Hub with the NowTV Hub).

Hi @Anonymous User
Strangely enough my old Router is a BT Hub with four Ethernet ports, but i decided to go down the Gigabit Ethernet switch with my NowTV Hub Router mainly where i needed 7 number Ethernet ports for my connected internet devices.

If that looks too techy, or doesn’t work, get an Ethernet switch from Curry’s or Amazon, with the number of ports you need plus one, and connect that. No configuration needed.
