Internet problem here, need some guidance. My modem is in the basement, my office is up two floors, and I have my PS5 and desktop there. I managed to get an Ethernet cable through the stairs, giving me a wired connection. But I want more wired connections so I don’t have to switch between devices and lose access. I’m not very tech-savvy, so any tips would be great. Should I look into a splitter, another router, or a switch for my room? Thanks!

Obtain a 5-port gigabit switch and consider it complete. They cost around $20 on Amazon.

You're referring to a switch you've used before. Here are two alternative links you might find useful:
