I presently have a Billion 8800NL on FTTC feeding into a Samknows Box which has Gbit LAN
As I see no reason to upgrade the router as the wireless works fine and it does everything I want but I am considering getting rid of the Samknows Box so I assume that a 5 port Gbit switch connected to the single Gbit port would work
Assuming I am correct is there any preference for the manufacturer or doesn't it matter
Of course the other option is to keep the Samknows box as it seems to work - thoughts please

Yes it would work. You can get a 5-port 1Gb unmanaged switch from Amazon for about a tenner. I tend to use TPlinks

The first two products that I came across in my search are --

TP-LINK TL-SG1005D
NETGEAR GS105UK

Or this Netgear is the one I use, some say it's better looking than the blue case ones!

I was thinking of this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00ZOOJXEG

I've got the 8 port version of Netgear GS105E.

It's only a few quid more expensive than the GS105 that burakkucat linked to but is VLAN capable.
