Will I saturate 1GB ethernet connection?

[JGBR]

Hello

I recently connected a new 8port Cisco GB ethernet switch to my router which is all GB connections via a single CAT6 STP cable to one port. I have a 100MB broadband connection. The router is a new gen up to date Wireless AC etc etc model but has no other spare ports due to other machines connected to it

Connected to the ethernet switch:

Gaming machine (MMO a lot)
Printer/Scanner
Another Gaming machine
Work Laptop X2
Part time computers which are in for repair.
Future expansion of HD TV/Device to steam to the living room.

Will i saturate that port or not worry about it? Obviously not all the devices are hammering the connection all day long.

No.

what makes you say that?

All of that stuff combined does not come close to 1 Gb/s. Online gaming uses a few Kb/s, sending a file to/from a printer/scanner is a few Mb/s at most, 1080P AVC streaming is maybe 10-20Mb/s depending on quality.

Should all run fine on a 100Mb/s switch.

I agree - no where near. You'd need several hundred computers to saturate that.
