| My router has only got one ethernet port. If I plug in a separate
network switchbox with say 6 ports, and then plug my desktop PC,
notebook and 2 ATA's into the switch, is the VoIP side of things likely
to work okay?
I know I could simply try it, but I was hoping that someone, with a
better understand, might be able to identify potential difficulties
before I embark on the task?
Thanks

Yes it will work fine. I have two hubs daisy chained from my AVM Fritz!Box
Fon router/VoIP ATA.
Make sure you get a switch rather than a hub, it will be more efficient.
