Can you recommend plug and play network switch for use with Singtel Fibre?

ONT is in the living room. My router is Singtel Wifi Gigabit Router AC Elite (Black).

Connect to 2 desktop in room.

Do you have LAN ports in the room?

If yes, why do you need a switch? The router has 4 gigabit LAN ports.

If no, a switch will not help either.

Or the two desktops are in the same room and you have only one LAN port. In that case, any gigabit switch will do, say TP-Link TL-SG105 or similar, pretty cheap (below S$30).

More important thing is that SingTel AC Elite has been out of security updates for many years, better to replace it.

Looks like this is a legacy SingTel ONT plan without recontract for many years (say before 2018). Just wondering why you want to stay with the legacy plan? Because of pricing?

IMHO.
Any switch will do.
The wall network point in room, connect the cable to the switch.
The two desktops, connect the network cable from each desktop to the switch.

Very likely no network points. So maybe need MoCA.
