Router update

Hi, my router model NR801 has two ethernet ports. I use both and now need another. Am I due an upgrade with 3+ ethernet ports?

Hi @Anonymous User 

Unfortunately the NOW Hub 2 only comes with 2 Ethernet ports and NOW don't offer any other Router.

Look at something like an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch (either 5 ports or 8 ports which I use) from places like Amazon or Ebay etc.

Hi @Jayach 

That will do the trick 👍.

I use a cheap Trendnet 8 port Ethernet switch for around 4 years with my NOW Hub 2 which was simple to setup (plug and play) with no problems whatsoever.

Hi @Anonymous User 

If you are looking to improve the wifi performance also, then maybe consider a cheap Sky SR203 Router from Ebay which has 4 Ethernet ports and will work with your NOW Broadband service.
