Sigh Go to Amazon and buy a passive splitter. Dont buy a switch, switches are too mainstream. Always use HUBs. Everything on one Collision domain is the only way forward. Who needs to use everything all at once anyway. plus you will only need a single IP.

I don’t think they sell hubs anymore. A non managed gigabit switch is cheap.
