Hi Ian1976,
Welcome to the community!
I recommend you the GS116v2 switch. The GS116v2 is a 16-port unmanaged, desktop switch that is capable of 1000Mbps of ethernet connection. Its also backward compatible to the FS108 switch which only supports 10/100 Mbps of ethernet connection. Check these links below for more details:
I also recommend you the JGS516v2 and JGS524v2 switches. The JGS516v2 and JGS524v2 are 16-port and 24-port unmanaged, rackmount switches respectively that is also capable of 1000Mbps of ethernet connection. Its also backward compatible to the FS108 switch which only supports 10/100 Mbps of ethernet connection. Check these links below for more details:

For me, it would be best if you will replace the FS108 switches since it only supports 10/100 Mbps of ethernet connection with switches that is capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps of ethernet connection like the GS116v2, JGS516v2 or JGS524v2 since most networking devices supports Gigabit connection.
