: ) Hi there! Does the switch work with batteries ("not supplied" says the description) and if so how many and what type?

No, the GS305 doesn't work with batteries. It is delivered with a power adapter suitable to the region it is sold in. If you have any questions, you can also check out our community NETGEAR Best regards, NETGEAR Amazon UK

Does the router have to be plugged into this. I have sn 8 port already but want to branch more cables off from upstairs.

Thank you for your interest in the NETGEAR GS305. If a connection to internet is required, some sort of routing will be needed to connect the internal and external networks together (as well as to provide NAT, etc.). If only additional devices with static IP addresses are to be connected, the switch alone would be sufficient. You can also visit our NETGEAR Community, if you should have any additional questions. Our forum might also helpful for gathering more ideas regarding the intended setup. Best regards, NETGEAR Amazon UK
