Putting everything on the switch and running a cable to the router is
exactly what I meant to say.

These things happen when you mix toddler + pregnant wife + prepping for
inlaws visting for Christmas.

No. Not the uplink port but rather any one of those 3 ports.

So you will have 2 devices directly on the apple router. 1 port from the router to the switch and 1 device to the switch giving you 6 more open ports
on the router.

I say put everything on the switch and just a cable from the switch to the
apple router.

Performance should be a bit better since they are all on the single switch
fabric.

I'm a bit sleep deprived this morning and wanted to make sure I'm clear on
something which is probably a "duh" question.

I have more than 3 ethernet devices in my home theater rack and right now
my
router is an Airport Extreme which only has 3 ethernet ports. I can just add something like an 8-port Gigabit ethernet swtich, put the router on
the
uplink port, and presto, I'm all good, right? Or am I missing something
stupid?
