You could use an extra switch and create a sun/star pattern where all
the 3 switches connect with a cable each to the fourth new one in
the centre. A free port in this new switch could then connect to the
router. If router fails then atlest the lan is still up. The
advantage of sun pattern should be better bandwidth in comparison
with cascading or serial connections.
A little more addition. You need not do any new wiring to connect a new
switch. Simply replace the router with the switch and place the router
adjacent to it. Connect a small lan cable between the switch and the
router.
