Home networking

After a little advise, if anybody is able!

Basically, I'm on sky fibre. Obviously the Sky SR102 only has 10/100 ethernet ports.

I'm in between to minds wether to buy a new router, or just get a couple of gigabit switches and run the network through those with one plugged into the router.

Will this work? I'm getting into steam in home streaming so want the quickest qired connection i can get within the house.

Exactly the answers I was looking for, thanks guys! I only need a few ports, so the 5 port switch should be plenty.

I'll order a couple of switches from here and give them a whirl tomorow

I hope Sky do release a better router, they are so far behind other ISP's it's unreal.

Made worse by the fact that they don't "officially" allow 3rd party routers. So anybody none savvy is forced to put up with their crap.
