    EA9500, X4S, AC88U or None of the Above?!

    Thanks to all for your help! If you wouldn’t mind humoring me with one last question, I’d be very grateful. It seems like no router I choose is going to have the number of wired ports I want, so I’m planning to add a switch. What is the ideal way to wire this? Modem > Router > Switch with...
