    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend a cable router with more than 4 ports (more than 4 sockets for ethernet cable) to replace the UPC Cisco 2425 one please and thank you.

    Regards

    First off, you won't be able to replace the Cisco 2425 modem outright.
    Have a looksie here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056767704

    What you could do, is get an ethernet switch (like this one) to give you more ethernet ports.

    Alternatively, you could connect a router (like this one) to the EPC2425, enable DMZ mode, and then connect an ethernet switch. Advantage of this is better routing capabilities, extra features etc.
