I need more than the 2 ethernet ports that are onboard the new xfi advanced gateway. Is adding a fast switch the best route? Any recommendations? =Thanks!

I bought a Trendnet 8-port gigabit switch; works great.

I found more info that cleared up a question I had:

View information about the Gateway's Ethernet Ports.  

The Gateway has 2 Gigabit (GbE) Ethernet Ports. When a device is connected to the Gateway with an Ethernet cable, you'll see an Active status for that port.

Have a similar question.  Received the new xFi Advanced Gateway modem, but sadly only 2 ethernet ports. Do I buy an ethernet hub or a network switcc (what's the difference)?  Any recommendations of a product I should purchase via Amazon?

thanks that was quick an easy, nothing like a 2 min video that tells you just what you need!
