Technically your router can hand out 253 IPs through its DHCP server, whether it be through wireless or ethernet, it doesn't matter. You can buy a switch and plug in into your router, most routers/switches these days should have auto-sensing ports so you may not need to worry about the following but just as an FYI. To use a standard ethernet cable, the switch will need to have a uplink port if it doesn't have auto-sensing ports or if it doesn't have a uplink port you will need a cross-over cable to connect the two devices together.
