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.
Thanks. I don't want to swap out any boards in my pc that is connected; would I need to do that?
Gigabit routers automatically switch to whatever speed the partner connection is, so no need to upgrade anything else.
