I am in the same boat my router has 4 ports all used so I tried a spliter to go from 1 of the ports and then plug two devices in to that, and yes that is right it dont work, so what I do is keep swapping over the two things at the spliter.
To make sence of this for you by router is by the front door ontop of the meter cupboard and rammed into the corner with all the cables out of sight so to just swap over a port i have to get under the cupboard thread the one i want up - yank out the router carrying all other cables with it and swap.
so now i just open the cupboard door and the spliter is easy to use to swap over two cables.
I dont want anything else plugged in the mains so a hub or switch is no good for me.
I dont like wifi.
All cables are hidden as i dont like them either.
