How do I get more Wired Internet Connections

[news]

[wireless]

I have PureFiber Internet Gigabit with Technicolor NH20T Modem and Arcadyan Boost 2.1 Routers (Boost 6). The Boost Routers only have 2 RJ-45 ports.

I tried running a cable from one of the Boost Routers to a simple switch (8 port D-Link) and the line quit working. How do I get 4+ wired connections across the room? Is there a way to enable a switch?
I tried running off both the Boost and the Modem. No luck with either.
