gigabit network help

Hi.

We have a home network with several appliances connected to it (desktop, laptop, nas, ps3)
Right now all the devices are connected to a 10/100 adsl router and all need access to internet. What do I for gigabit network, just a gigabit switch or gigabit router?

Thx

Thx! However if two 2 devices want to access the internet at the same time, will this setup work? How can the switch arrange the devices' access to internet?

Thx again! Should I also upgrade the cables to cat6? And if one device (eg laptop) is not gigabit then the whole network will revert back to 100mpbs?

And what about the cable? Should I change it to cat6?

Thank you all, I got the Netgear GS605 and its working beautifully.
One more question, is it worth to install gigabit powerline adapters?
