Hello, long term surfer of this site but new poster. Just looking for advice. I am looking at setting up a Ethernet switch to run the TV, sky q and Xbox series x because the WiFi doesn't seem to be getting the speeds hoped. Now I have read that the sky q box doesn't have a gigabit port on it and can only support something like 100Mb and I have seen that some people have had problems with this then bottlenecking everything plugged into the switch to the same slower speeds. Is this true or would I get each connected thing running at the max speed allowed by the gadget/internet speed depending on internet load at any given time.

I'm looking at a NETGEAR GS305 switch and a few cat7 Ethernet cables.
 
Thanks everyone for your answers, knew this would be the place to get people talking sense. Will probably end up buying an 8 port now and the cat 5e and try to find a decent 15 meter cable to get from the router to the area in question, shame Overclockers only do 10 or 20
