      You connect a LAN-port of the router to the WAN-port of a switch. Then you can use the LAN-ports of the switch to your` devices.

      I’m assuming your router connects to the modem via a CAT5 cable. If so just run CAT5 from Modem location to patch panel and cable into Router. I’ve done this in many installations and left the Fibre modem near the entry point and patched RJ45 into patch panel at the desired location.

      Alternately, you can also patch a ADSL line into a patch panel, you only need to use 2 cores (leave the rest in case you want to move router back) just use the RJ45 head for out and RJ11 for into the Router.

      Regards,
