Will this do it or is it overkill?
Thanks in advance.

Unless you have Gigabit PCs then it is overkill - you just need this for £9:

@brookhaether, that's 10/100 This is 1000Mbps.
If you really wanted a cheaper solution and 8 ports was really overkill for yo, then get this:
TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch (TL-SG1005D) Plastic Case at £15.56 if the 8 port was overkill for you.

No real point buying 10/100 at all unless you want to be spending more money at a later date. Measure twice, cut once ;)
Yes you can, but I'm not sure about daisy chaining two.

The plan was to feed them individually from 2 available ports on the router, would that be OK?
Daisy chaining is also fine, but if you have a cable run from the router to the first switch, and another from the first to the second switch, you might as well just run a second cable straight from the router to the second switch.

As my router and AV system are in completely difference places it would not be viable to daisy chain, it was always going to be individual link from the router to each switch, and now I know it is possible.
Many thanks guys.
