Hi, I have a virgin media super hub,but have used all the ports. Some devices connect via wifi,but would sooner have a wired connection. Can you offer advice on the best switch and how to connect please. I have installed home networks before,so have some experience Thanks

From what I found out about the virgin media super hub, It's a version of this Click here

You will need either a 5 port GS605 (just bought this one) Click here

or an 8 Port GS608 Click here

Connection is easy, Disconnect one of the Ethernet Cables from the virgin media super hub and connect it to the switch, The cable you get with the switch connects to the disconnected port on the super hub, Any other cables connect to the Switch.
