Had another thought.  Maybe your client should give (or use themselves) 
the old 4-port router to a home user.  There are still a lot of users 
out there who aren't using any sort of firewall/router between their PCs 
and the cable/DSL modems.

Then to grow their network in the future, simply add an 8/16/24 port 
gigabit switch to one of the ports on the 8-port router.
