I am getting an Airport Extreme, (although I am considering going with the time capsule for the extra $120,) and it will not have enough lan ports. it comes with 3 and I have to hook up:

2 tivos
1 xbox 360
1 wired connection for a work computer
1 desktop pc

So...can I just buy a 5 port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Network Switch as found at Tigerdirect.com for $24.99, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=2201248

hook one of the outputs from the AE to the input on the switch and then I am good to go?
