Correct way to wire my network for HD streaming through switch or router

[Exibit]

Hi guys

I am about to receive my new Plasma TV Panasonic G15 (very excited)

Now my question is about my home network

I have a Netgear Router DG834N that has 4 network ports on the rear all are full..

Media PC
Gaming PC
Family PC
Synology NAS

Now I need another network cable for the TV, so I have bought a Netgear GS605 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

My Synology is also Gigabit

My media PC also has a Gigabit port

The Netgear modem is not Gigabit

How should I wire this up I am worried about the router being a bottle neck, should I wire the media pc and the synology to the netgear switch.. I have lots of media in my synology and am worried about my HD Home movies streaming to the TV.. Will the traffic pass through the router ??

Please dont mention wireless I live in an old house it does not work !!!!!!!

Wire everything to the switch including the router.

● Required speed (effective): at least 1.5 Mbps for SD and 6 Mbps for HD picture quality, respectively

Movie : MPEG-2 (PS format) / DivX
Extension - “.mpg”, “.mpeg”, “.divx” or “.avi”
● Some MPEG-2 format may not be supported.
● For details of DivX p

Looks like a `standard` switch will be fine as it only wants 6Mbps to stream HD but personally i would get a Gig switch
Bit disapointing the formats it will play though No advertised support for MKV
Please can you try a few different formats when you get the beastie
