Sky modem Ethernet

The sky modem/router only has 2 Ethernet connections I need 3. What's the best way to extend? A hub of some discription?

If you have any old modem lying around the place you can use it instead.

Sky has sent me this pos promising better WiFi etc bla bla bla.

In reality any modem will do if it is just connection points that are your problem.

You don't have to use their modem.

For 20 squids these things are a no brainer in a home install. Rock solid, deployed a rake of em.

Thanks for swift replies, really appreciate it. I'll have a look now. Might pop into Power City tomorrow if I have a chance.
