Add IP cameras, access points, and other powered devices to your network with the Hikvision DS-3E0105P-E/M 4-Port 10/100Mb PoE+ Compliant Unmanaged Network Switch . This plug-and-play unmanaged switch includes four 10/100 Mb/s speed Ethernet ports with a 1 Gb/s switching capacity and 0.74 Mpps forwarding rate. Each port can also supply power to PoE+ compatible devices with a total budget of 35W. Enabling extend mode increases the maximum range to about 984' while operating at 10 Mb/s. An RJ45 port is available for up to 100 Mb/s uplinks.
For home use, a simple unmanaged Gigabit switch is all you need to expand your router's ports. Buy a managed switch or a switch with PoE only if you are running security cameras, access points, or complex VLAN setups. Available from $39.95.
Basic unmanaged network switches use negligible power and have zero maintenance costs. PoE (Power over Ethernet) and large managed switches use more electricity but are still relatively cheap to run.
Common Failure Modes
Switches are solid-state devices with high reliability. When they fail, it is usually due to lightning strikes/power surges blowing individual ports or the internal power supply dying.

Network switches are extremely reliable solid-state devices. They are usually replaced because networking speed standards outgrow them, rather than due to hardware failure.
