Hi Reza,
Thanks for your reply, and for the link. I did actually find that page during my search, but didn't look too closely at it.
I read through it more detail, and decided that I may need to run the PCs over 2 subnets to utilise all ports I have on the router.
I was following the guide on the link when I decided to try something - I created the bridge group, added both the onboard routed ports to that bridge group, then added a VLAN to the bridge group.
I then added the ports in the EHWIC to that VLAN (switchport access).
From the preliminary testing I've done so far, this seems to have solved my issue. Devices connected to either of online GE ports, or any of the EHWIC ports appear to be able to be on the same subnet and can talk to each other.
Below is a watered down version of the config I've got on the router.

Do you see anything obviously wrong with this config?
Like I said, the testing of the local network side seemed promising. I just need to test and make sure all ports can access the internet next.
Thanks again for your help so far

Andrew
