I did that by adding an 8 switch router to my existing modem/router, Netgear GS608 8 Port Gigabit Platinum Switch - Ebuyer and being gigabit it speeeds things up as well.

It has a few wrinkles but seems to work well enough, you could use it to upgrade your current router and with the extra switches you may not need to daisy chain.
