I have always found the advice in here to be excellent, I am still using 
my ASUS Z170-K recommended by Jaimie ten years ago, best mobo I ever bought.

I want to split the network so one group of kit has Internet access and a 
different group doesn't but all kit can communicate with each other. I 
can't itemise my spares box because over the years it has become a spares 
room but I do have a network card with 4 sockets and may even have some 
old modem/routers :-)
