Which switch to choose for the local network and the Internet?

Welcome all. The task is to create a local network with a server computer (1C), printers and workstations. Plus computers must have access to the Internet. As I see the situation: we take a router (one that suits the technology: twisted pair or ADSL), we take a switch with the required number of ports. Since the company is not big, the 24 port router is beyond the eyes. But since I didn’t dive into this topic very deeply, I have concerns that by taking a non-configurable switch, I won’t be able to register the ip of computers and printers. I ask for clarification: are my statements true or not (will I still have to take an insistent switch)? And another question: given that more than 5 computers are connected to the 1C server, is it desirable to have a port on the switch that supports 1 Gb / s or is 100 enough?

@Dilun

1) an unmanaged switch is enough for you (your router will deal with ip addresses)
2) given the current prices for gigabit equipment, as well as your load, you can buy a whole gigabit switch
