My broadband modem/wi-fi unit has 4 ports, and I have 5 devices.
So, right now I have a Linksys wireless router plugged into my modem. For some reason, I've just always had trouble with conflicting settings, devices not being able to connect to each other if they are plugged into the different units, and other weird bugs...and the wifi signal from the modem itself is stronger than the one on my Linksys router, anyway, so I'm literally only using it as a switch.
So what that said, I'm thinking I just want to throw up my hands, give up, and replace that router with a switch.
I'm looking at this one:

So...the description says "Plug and play, no configuration needed". Is that literally correct? Should everything see themselves as if they were all plugged into the same device?
