Model: Deco  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have Deco P9 with 3 units. The master unit is connected to a router via ethernet cable. I need to connect 2 devices via ethernet cable to this unit (so that they are on same network as devices elsewhere in house). As unit only has 2 sockets, how can I connect the remaining device? Should I get another Deco P9 unit to go in the same room? Or is there a way of connecting 2 cables to one socket?

You can buy regular 5-port gigabit switch, connect it to master Deco P9 available Ethernet port and have 4 remaining switch ports to connect devices to.

TP-Link brand of switch is recommended, but is not a requirement in this specific case.
