Why not get a network switch. A 5 port switch would work for this situation. Put it on its own strip outlet so you could flip off the switch if it does not have an on/off button. Connect a network cable to the router, the other end connects to the switch.. Take another network cable and connect the computer to another port on the switch. A network switch will probably run around $30 USD.
