Hi,
You don't need another router, that will just add complexity.
You can use an ethernet switch, cheap one will do.
for 100Mb: One like this.
or for 1Gb: One like this
Then 1 ethernet cable from your existing router into the switch, and you now have 4 more ports.
No need to do any config changes. Just plug into new ports.
The only thing to take care of/consider...
If you are using DHCP on the router.?, make sure you have allowed enough addresses. :)
