Recommended switch for Xfinity XB7? (alien.top)

I'm on cable internet 800/40 and am looking for recommendations on an affordable ethernet switch with a minimum of 8 ports.

I'm basically looking to expand the amount of ports on my xb7 gateway so that I can plug in my hdtv, shield pro, and desktop PC and future devices.

The xb7 has four 1Gbps ports including one 2.5 GBps port, not sure which port I should use to connect to a switch. I'm using cat6. All my devices are gigabit except my PC which has 2.5gb nic on the motherboard.

I'm not against buying used just overwhelmed by the amount of choices on eBay. Managed, unmanaged, etc.

Any advice is appreciated
