I’d like to build a small LAN network with two PCs, a NAS and a server for demo app deployment. Based on the vague idea I have, it should minimally look like this:

(the arrows represent Ethernet cables) The problem is: I’d like to connect both of my PCs to:
- (a) the internet
- (b) my NAS
- © my server
However, the Mac mini has only 1x port, so I need something between the cables and the machine. I could install other Ethernet ports on the Workstation, but it depends what the other option is.
Thank you in advance!!
Why all this mess? Just connect everything to the switch… it is its purpose!
Furthermore, the router is not present, is it inside the modem?
