Thanks...

Okay, the easiest and cheapest way of doing this is:

• Get a switch like this one https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07PFYM5MZ/
  
  
• Get a network tool kit https://www.amazon.com/Network-Maintenance-Portable-Crimper-Connectors/dp/B0756SN86D/
  
  
• Get some Cat6 RJ45 connectors https://www.amazon.com/CableCreation-100-PACK-Connector-Connectors-Transparent/dp/B01K9Z4FT2/
  
  
  What you need to do is:
  
  
• Disconnect all the blue cables from that panel
  
  
• Wire them up with the RJ45 connectors learn how to do that here https://youtu.be/rV5vgk2Mt3Iand here https://www.warehousecables.com/landing/how-to-make-a-cat6-patch-cable.php
  
  
• Check the wiring on the wall sockets, that it matches the pinout from https://www.warehousecables.com/landing/how-to-make-a-cat6-patch-cable.php
  
  
• Connect the blue cables and also the grey cable to the switch, and you should be good to go.
  
  
  Note, you may need to get new wall sockets, but I could suggest to do one test cable first and then run a speedtest using speedtest.ui.com to see if you get the same as your internet provider. One other thing to note, is that I'm not sure that Frontier Communications device is a router and can handle all the connections, you may need to get a router also.

Sure, a Layer 3 switch, that’s actually doing IP routing in hardware, could impact IGMP. That’s not the little unmanaged switches you buy for $3/port though.

I agree with /u/washu_k, just use whatever router you like and add a switch.

A 5-port Gigabit switch is currently $11.99 on Amazon. An 8-port one is $20.99.

If your ISP service is +100Mbps, you want an "unmanaged gigabit Ethernet switch", aka a "dumb switch".

Yes, just get a small switch. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07PFYM5MZ/

(you don't need 8 ports, 4-5 will do, but this was cheaper than the 5 port one...)

Plug a cable from your modem into any one port, plug PC into another, PS4 into a third.

In general, for all networked devices, ethernet is far better than wifi. I wire everything that has the option to be wired. Especially video.

Get this Gigabit switch: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07PFYM5MZ and you won't bottle neck anything. And you will still have 5 free ports on the switchafter you plug in everything you currently have. Or you could step up to the 16 port version and have 13 ports free: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AX8XHRQ

I use this

​

edit: I use this one as well: https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Splitter-Optimization-Unmanaged-TL-SG108/dp/B00A121WN6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=TP-Link+TL-SG108+8-Port+10%2F100%2F1000Mbps+Desktop+Gigabit+Steel+Cased+Switch%2C+IEEE+802.1p+QoS%2C+Up+to+72%25+Power+Saving&qid=1568396966&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0

So it’s just a basic switch like this

NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) - Desktop, Sturdy Metal Fanless Housing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PFYM5MZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FXyGDbXT6J1T1

A tower computer, should have an available internal expansion port that you can install a replacement Network adapter into or you can just use a USB to Ethernet adapter (though the internal would be better).

A switch is used in a wired network to connect to other devices using Ethernet cables. The switch allows each connected device to talk to the others.

Here is a nice 8 port switch: https://smile.amazon.com/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07PFYM5MZ/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_pm?ac_md=1-0-VW5kZXIgJDI1-ac_d_pm&crid=9AB7KW1UWRKZ&keywords=ethernet+switch+8+port&pd_rd_i=B07PFYM5MZ&pd_rd_r=c79d4d2c-21b3-4368-87a8-f5e78cb772fa&pd_rd_w=hI0j7&pd_rd_wg=mkjNm&pf_rd_p=eeff02d5-070a-45ea-a79e-d591974b877e&pf_rd_r=4R5EXN3EJE3YM4D2SA53&psc=1&qid=1569472927&sprefix=Ethernet+sw%2Caps%2C260

Yup, basically if all you need to do is all more Ethernet ports and Jack's to plug up devices a cheap 8 port will cost you less than $30 new basically


Example, any good name brand gigabit switch should be fine. Really don't ever have to worry about them.

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07PFYM5MZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EMsADbK5TMZD8

Nope, modem - PC - switch - ALL DEVICES (APs and additional switches if you want)

Here's the switch I got - it's on sale now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PFYM5MZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Would I be able to set it up to use for the devices connect to this ?

I have this : https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07PFYM5MZ/

You can get this at Amazon. There's a $2.00 coupon that brings it to near the same price as NewEgg.

Literally any router will work, as long as it doesn't have a built-in modem (i.e. it must have an Ethernet WAN/Internet port, not a Coax one). You just connect it directly to the ONT with Ethernet cable. If your current router is connected to the ONT with Coax cable, you'll need to run Ethernet from the router to ONT and call Verizon to have the ONT switched over to Ethernet.

As for the good choices...

Budget option: Archer C7

If you need more coverage than a single wireless router can provide, but can't run Ethernet to multiple APs: Orbi RBK50

If you can run Ethernet to multiple APs: USG (router) + switch + as many APs as you need.

This one I bought recently is half the price and more ports.
