I got a new eero router from my service provider a couple of days ago. It has only one ethernet port (my old router had four). Can I use a two-port unmanaged network switch (not a splitter) to make the connection between the amp and router? Any recommendations?

A two port switch would work, likely cost more than an 8 or even 5 port one.
Edit, there are some 2 port ones for less, watch the quality and compatibility.
I use this $20 one in several places.
