Cat 6 Cabling Speeds With 10/100 router and Gigabit Switch

[tododo]

Hi

I have just cabled up every room in my new house with cat 6 cabling and cat 6 wallplates

All so far working OK connecting to a 10/100 adsl netgear router which links to an old linksys router in the attic through one of the wallplates (where all my cabling eventually goes) and then the connection is shared from that linksys router

My question is that I am planning to buy a 8 port gigabit switch to connect to the netgear router as I can only use three ports on the linksys router in the attic at the moment so Im planning on getting a switch to replace this

One thing Im not entirely sure on is what speed would I get when say tranferring files from pc to pc........would all of the network drop down to 10/100 speed because of the netgear router or would the switch maintain gigabit speeds for this??

If this makes sense to anyone......wow

Thanks for any info

Cool thanks guys

I didnt realise this......I thought the netgear would slow ALL of the network down

Thanks
