Thanks for the help everyone. In reality I should have asked when getting my new Shaw plan about exactly what equipment I was getting. That would have avoided the ethernet port issue and besides that, there was no wireless TV box. It's an older box (XG1v4) and not the newer wireless box. The Shaw website is useless for figuring out what you'll get.

To be on the safe side I still bought the switch (the GS305 that Jimmy Stang mentioned) since it was a cheap solution and then I'm using Shaw's setup as they intended. If it sucks I'll bridge the XB6 and go back to my ASUS router.

I've never had a modem/router with a fan in it before, so I'll be curious to see how long the XB6 lasts before the fan gets annoying.
