My router has an USB port, can I get a USB to Ethernet adapter and connect it to the router to get another ethernet port out of it?

I heard it might not work because of drivers or some chit



My friend has an adapter but he lives in a potato field 30 miles away, a ethernet switch is too pricey for what I need it for (literally just need one more ethernet port) so I need to know before I head out for nothing.
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

-I'd rather live life saying "I failed" than "I could have"

What kind of router do you have? I would just get a new ethernet switch personally, they're like $10 on amazon

Do you have an ethernet to USB or only only your friend?
